The essence of daily diuresis during pregnancy.

Daily diuresis is the amount of urine, measured in liters, that was excreted by a woman's body in 24 hours. As the pregnancy progresses, the fetus grows and the uterus expands, putting pressure on the kidneys and bladder.

An analysis of diuresis is extremely important for a pregnant woman, since during the period of bearing a child, the body's need for fluid increases. It is necessary that all the drunk water can be excreted in the form of urine.

Fluid stagnation leads to swelling of the limbs and other health problems for the expectant mother and child.

The result of a urinalysis for diuresis will provide the doctor with the following information:

• how much liquid the pregnant woman consumes;

• how do the kidneys cope with their work;

• whether there are deviations in the regulation of the body's water-salt balance.
