Negative fluid balance?
Patients in the hospital often have their I and O (Intake and Output) monitored. If a person puts out more fluid than is taken in that person is said to have a negative fluid balance. If the person takes in more than he puts out then he is said to have a positive fluid balance.
What effect would drinking water have on fluid handling in kidney?
Too much fluid intake will cause the kidneys to produce more urine and inadequate fluid intake will cause the kidneys to conserve body fluids by reducing the volume of urine excreted
What is the average urine input and output of a normal person daily?
It depends on the activity level and other factors. The "eight glasses of water a day" recommendation that everyone needs at least eight glasses of water a day is a myth. Fluid intake (including the moisture content of food) should equal the amount of liquid lost during the day, from perspiration, expiration and urination. During times of physical exertion or warm weather, people should take extra care in remaining hydrated. Elderly people sometimes have difficulty regulating their fluid consumption and should take additional care in making sure they remain hydrated during hot times, as they are also more frail and susceptible to heat stroke.
What if you are taking in one liter of fluid and your output is 2000 or more milliliters per day?
You become very dehydrated
Why is it important to have a daily fluid intake?
The human body is mostly water. As such, the majority of the body's fluids are composed primarily of water.
In no more than one line, explain why when investigating the primary hypocalciuric hypercalcemia we measure the ratio of (Urine calcium/urine creatinin) not just urine calcium?
Measuring the ratio of urine calcium to urine creatinine corrects for differences in urine concentration due to variations in fluid intake and urinary output.
Why is fluid important between bones?
Synovial fluid is important between the bones because it helps reduce the friction between the bones. This fluid also lets a person move his joints more freely.
How does sunlight intensity and the surface area of a solar cell affect it's electrical power output?
The larger the area surface of the solar cell the more energy output is made, because of it has more area so that it can intake more sunlight so therefore it can give more of its energy of more quickly.Most obviously the more sunlight intensity on the solar cell the more energy it given off because sunlight = energyso the more sunlight that has been inputed into the solar cell the more output energy will be given off.
How does drinking more water usually help decrease fluid retention or edema when a patient has no fluid restrictions?
Many patients who have edema -- fluid retention -- often reduce their water and fluid intake. But this can compound the problem with edema. Fluid intake increases blood volume and stimulates the kidneys to remove fluid wastes. At the cellular level in tissues, increased fluid volume promotes better circulation, which prompts the cells to increase how they move wastes into the bloodstream for transport to the kidneys for processing.However, each patient must discuss this with their doctor. Some patients do have fluid restrictions depending on that patient's medical conditions. But generally speaking, most people can handle normal fluid intake when they have edema and often see better kidney function and less edema.
What is wrong if urine output is very much lower than intake?
Most likely this means that you are dehydrated. Drink more water and cut down on salty foods. If it persists, see a doctor.
What happens when your daily caloric intake is more than your daily caloric output?
If you eat more than you need each day, you'll start to gain weight. Eventually, it might even lead to obesity and other health problems.
Is an organism's water intake more than its output?
If you are talking about plants, then yes. Water is consumed in photosynthesis to make sugar. If you are talking about animals, then no. Animals make water out of the food they eat and the oxygen they breath.
