Insensible fluid loss?

Insensible fluid loss , is not readily seen or felt fluid, excreted from the body. Insensible fluid loss consists of 1)vaporization from lungs ( exhaled watervapor) and 2) passive diffusion through skin ( also called perspiratio insensibilis = insensible perspiration ). All values below are for adult humans: Vaporization from lungs : average amount 300 ml. , will increase with hard physical work and in dry hot climate. Insensible perspiration : average amount 350 ml. . Other ways of fluid excretion, that are not insensible fluid loss : Urinary production ( of urine ) can be seen : average amount daily 1000 - 1500 ml - will increase if you are overhydrated - and decrease if you are dehydrated. Active sweating from sweat glands can be seen : average amount daily 150 ml. , will increase in case of physical hard work or high temperatures.
