Blood-derived fluids, primarily blood plasma, account for about 55% of total blood volume. When blood is lost through injury or medical procedures, the body can lose varying amounts, but significant loss—typically over 15%—can lead to serious health risks. Additionally, other bodily fluids, such as lymph and interstitial fluid, also play roles in fluid balance but are not typically considered blood-derived. Overall, the specific amount of blood-derived fluids lost depends on the circumstances surrounding the loss.

How do fluids get from the stomach to the kidNEY?
From the stomach, fluids travel to the small and large intestine. The main water absorption happens in the large intestine, where the water is absorbed into the blood. This creates a higher blood pressure. However, this blood goes travels through the kidneys, which senses there is higher blood pressure, and in turn, takes the water from the blood into the kidney. These fluid will then leave the body as a component of urine.
