Intake and Output.
If urine output exceeds input you will lose total body water. If you are retaining fluid, i.e. have too much, this is normal and good. At some point, if it does not stop , it will lead to dehydration.
Intake is the amount of fluids someone takes in and output is how much urine they excreted. It's used to monitor fluid balance.
quantity / amountProper hydration is a constant changing variable determined by the quantity of fluid intake and output.
A normal person should ideally have a neutral fluid balance, meaning the amount of fluid intake equals the amount of fluid output. Positive fluid balance (more intake than output) or negative fluid balance (more output than intake) can indicate underlying health issues and should be monitored carefully by healthcare professionals.
Intake and output measurement is important in healthcare to monitor a patient's fluid balance. It helps healthcare providers assess hydration status, kidney function, and overall health. Monitoring intake and output can also detect early signs of fluid imbalances or underlying health issues.
