✓ Check: The normal range for 24-hour urine volume is 800 to 2000 milliliters per day
(with a normal fluid intake of about 2 liters per day). Oliguria is urine output < 500 mL
in 24 h (0.5 mL/kg/h) in an adult. Oliguria is urine output < 1 L in 24 h (1 mL/kg/h) in
a child.



Calculating urinary output:

✓ Check: Pediatric Urine Output Calculation. The expected urine output for an adult is >
0.5mL/kg/hour, so an average adult of 70kg would be expected to produce 35-
40ml/hour of urine. For children, the expected urine output is closer to 1ml/kg/hour. The
normal urine output for adults is 1 ml/min, regardless of weight.

opening. When contracted, it closes the opening.); bowel mvmts several x per day;
decreased enzymes (difficulty digest proteins except for breast milk); belly distention from
gas (colicky, gasey); immature liver (decreased enzymes for digestion); usually health
babies, sometimes premies
