ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -When normal-color urine is attained, urine output should be held between 30 to 60 cc per hour.

Detailed explanation-2: -The normal range for 24-hour urine volume is 800 to 2, 000 milliliters per day (with a normal fluid intake of about 2 liters per day). The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories.

Detailed explanation-3: -Avoiding large bladder volumes is an often overlooked and/or misunderstood concept. Ideally the bladder should be emptied when the volume is 400 cc (about 1.5 cups) or less; a volume of 600 cc is considered a very full bladder.

Detailed explanation-4: -The normal urine output per hour helps to determine if an individual is producing the right amount of urine in a cycle of 24 hours. The range of normal urine output per day is 800 to 2, 000 mL (1). In other words, 0.5 to 1.5 cc/kg/hour is considered as the normal urine output per hour (2).
