A patient’s urine output was 800 ML per hour following a treatment. The patient’s urine output increased at 1200 ML’s per hour. What is the percentage change in the urine output

Answer 1

To calculate the percentage change in the urine output, we first need to determine the difference in urine output before and after the treatment.

Initial urine output = 800 mL per hour
Final urine output = 1200 mL per hour

Difference = Final urine output - Initial urine output
Difference = 1200 mL/h - 800 mL/h
Difference = 400 mL/h

Next, we calculate the percentage change:

Percentage Change = (Difference / Initial urine output) x 100
Percentage Change = (400 mL/h / 800 mL/h) x 100
Percentage Change = 0.5 x 100
Percentage Change = 50%

Therefore, the percentage change in the urine output following the treatment is 50%.
