What is the proportion of normal adult plasma content to body weight

The normal adult plasma content accounts for about 4% -5% of body weight. Plasma is the liquid component of blood, and its content is related to individual health status, hydration status, and other factors. Plasma is mainly composed of water, proteins, electrolytes, and organic matter, and plays a key role in maintaining blood circulation, transporting nutrients, and metabolizing waste. The total amount of plasma in healthy adult males is about 2800-3000 milliliters, and in females it is about 2300-2500 milliliters. The specific values may vary depending on height and weight differences. Stable plasma levels are crucial for maintaining normal blood pressure and organ perfusion. Intense exercise or excessive sweating may temporarily decrease plasma volume and require timely hydration. Long term abnormal plasma levels may be associated with pathological conditions such as dehydration, anemia, and kidney disease.

Daily fluid balance can be determined by observing urine volume and color, with light yellow urine indicating sufficient water intake. It is recommended that adults drink 1500-2000 milliliters of water per day, with an increase after exposure to high temperatures or exercise. During physical examination, plasma protein and electrolyte levels can be assessed by routine blood test and biochemical examination. If dehydration symptoms such as persistent thirst and dizziness, or fluid retention such as edema occur, medical examination should be conducted in a timely manner.
