"Urine volume" refers to the amount or quantity of urine that is produced or passed by a person within a specific period of time. It indicates how much liquid waste the body is eliminating through the urinary system.
Full definition
In humans,
low urine volume has been established as a risk factor for stone formation.
When starch / carbs were added to a protein / fat diet and the cats were allowed to eat free choice,
urine volume went down.
This is normally not a problem with regular urination and healthy urinary tract cells, but it can become a problem with
decreased urine volume, which leads to increased concentration of urine.
That should make
more urine volume, and therefore more thirst to encourage replacement of the water lost.
WALTHAM investigated two approaches to
increasing urine volume through increasing water intake: namely dietary sodium and dietary moisture.
As a result of the continued conversion of acetoacetate to beta - hydroxybutyrate, the serum and
urine volume of acetoacetate (the only ketone detected by ketostix) is significantly reduced.
Longer lasting signs include an increase in thirst, an increase
in urine volume and an increase in appetite.
Urine production is monitored closely as after the obstruction is relieved, with
dramatic urine volumes often produced.
These cells can vary the size of the slits between them and thus control
urine volume as well.
In addition, nocturnal urination was reduced by 19 %,
residual urine volume (urine remaining in the bladder) was reduced by 24 %, and peak urine flow was increased by 23 %.
Yes, Besides returning to normal blood sodium and potassium concentrations, dogs with Addison's disease that is well controlled should return to producing
normal urine volume.
Lowered
urine volume leads to a buildup of minerals, which in turn may cause crystals and stones.
Goals include lowering the concentration of urine and increasing
urine volume so that cats flush their bladders more often and more fully.
The cat urinary bladder temporarily stores urine and when
enough urine volume is gathered, it then passes it through the urethra for urination outside of the body.
This high urine glucose concentration can actually pull excessive amounts of water into the urine, resulting in
increased urine volume, increased urinary water loss, a propensity for dehydration, and a compensatory increase in thirst.
Such dilution is achieved by increasing dietary sodium levels, producing an increase
in urine volume.
Some of these factors such as
lower urine volume, higher calcium concentration and higher calcium oxalate RSS seen in small dogs may contribute to the increased prevalence of calcium oxalate urolithiasis in this group.
Urine production is monitored closely as after the obstruction is relieved often
dramatic urine volumes are produced.
Chicory root extract is often used as a diuretic, which increases
urine volume.
Not only did they have bigger livers to handle the additional work but
their urine volumes were also typically larger to get rid of the extra urea.
Researchers measured their water and fluid intake;
urine volume, frequency and concentration; and symptoms.
This irritation will cause you to wake up and urinate, but often results in low
urine volume.
However, alcohol can have the diuretic effect of increasing
urine volume.
It is important for the owner to be aware of
urine volume being produced and of bladder size, if possible.
This environment is achieved by the increase of
the urine volume and maintenance of healthy urinary pH levels.
Diet and
urine volume are the most important factors in stone development.
It was hoped that these herbs might increase
urine volume and correspondingly dilute urine as well as decrease urine pH so there would be fewer crystals.
Ingredients to increase
urine volume and reduce the concentration of the minerals that form kidney stones
For the most part in adult cats, stool consistency and
urine volume can fluctuate without much problem.
Urinary Tract Health Formulated to increase
the urine volume and help in the management of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals through the use of Relative Supersaturation (RSS) methodology.
Excessive glucose in the urine causes an osmotic pull of water, increasing
urine volume, thus patients are urinating excessively.
Urine Dilution - our formulas increase
the urine volume to simultaneously reduce the saturation of urine with struvite and calcium oxalate precursors.
Urine Dilution Increasing
the urine volume simultaneously reduces the saturation of urine with calcium oxalate and struvite crystals.
The higher the starch content of a diet, the lower
the urine volume will be.
In addition to increased thirst and
urine volume (often called PU / PD, meaning polyuria and polydipsia) over time a cat with CRD may become anemic, since the kidneys produce a hormone that stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells.
Increasing dietary moisture results in urinary dilution in small breed dogs only The simplest way of reducing RSS and therefore the risk of urolithiasis is through increasing
urine volume.
