One of the indicative markers of the health of the baby and mother is the quantity and quality of urine produced. The intensity of the kidneys changes during the day. According to the content of certain substances in the daily urine, one can judge the state of the kidneys and urinary tract, draw conclusions about the work of the cardiovascular system, liver, the presence or absence of inflammatory processes.
There is a norm for the daily volume of urine, which should be excreted by the kidneys within 24 hours. This is 1-2 liters.
This range is due to:
• the amount of liquid drunk;
• gestational age;
• the presence of complications of gestation.
If the volume differs from the norm, this is not a reason for panic, but for additional examinations, correction of the food and drinking regimen. To obtain reliable results, it is important to correctly collect daily urine for pregnant women for research.
