if there is a relationship between fluid intake and urine output‚ by measuring my daily fluid intakes and urine outputs. Hypothesis: The volume of urine I will produce will be at least half of the volume of fluids I will drink‚ due to the body’s ability to carry out a water balance just as one would have on oxygen‚ carbon dioxide to maintain a healthy and working body. For example if I drink 1000cm3 of fluids then the expected amount of urine I should produce would be around 4000 cm3 to 6000 cm3
