Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Kidneys produce about 180 litres of filtrate per day, but the actual urine production is about 1.2 to 1.5 litres per day.
Detailed explanation-2: -Though the volume of blood filtered by the kidney is 180 L the volume of urine is just 1-2 litres because the remaining nutrients and water are reabsorbed in the kidney tubules.
Detailed explanation-3: -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).
