HEALTH & MEDICINE CALCULATOR
Urine Output Calculator
A precise tool.
What is the Urine Output Calculator & How does it work?
Urine output is a critical parameter in assessing kidney function and overall hydration status. It refers to the volume of urine produced by the kidneys over a specific period, typically measured in milliliters per hour (mL/h) or milliliters per day (mL/day). Monitoring urine output helps healthcare professionals evaluate fluid balance, detect dehydration, and manage conditions such as acute kidney injury.Normal adult urine output ranges from 800 to 2500 mL per day. However, this can vary based on factors such as fluid intake, activity level, and underlying health conditions. Abnormal urine output may indicate issues with kidney function or other medical problems.
UO = frac{V}{t}
UO = Urine Output (mL/h or mL/day), V = Volume of urine (mL), t = Time period (hours or days)
