I agree with the post above me. But you also have to look at the fluid and electrolytes (Na2+, K+) levels.

Isotonic solutions have the same solute and water concentrations as the cell. Isotonic solutions cause no visible changes in cells since there is not an area more highly concentrated. The use of isotonic intravenous solutions allows red blood cells to retain their normal size and disc-like shape.
