Daily balance of sodium and water

Sodium

(g/day)

Intake

Output

Total output = 10.5g

 

Water

(mL/day)

Intake

Total = 2550mL

Output

Total = 2550mL
* Plus menstrual flow and milk in women

NB:

[KB2:p21]

Obligatory water loss

Daily waste products (including urea, sulfate, phosphate)
= 600-700 mOsm/day

Maximum urine concentration
= 1200-1400 mOsm/kg

Thus,

Minimum urine production ~ 0.5L/day

Daily waste product

[KB2:p159]

NB:

Creatinine excretion = 12 mmol/day
