Study of urinary volume and creatinine excretion in women medical students.

ABSTRACT

The urine volume per 24 hours is much lower than that reported in literature and therefore, it is necessary to establish Indian base lines. The experiments have been done under three different weather conditions, the results suggest an extent of allowance to be made for interpreting the results of concentration of substances in urine. The daily creatinine excretion was much lower than that reported in Western literature. This may be of value when creatinine excretion is being used as a check for completeness of 24 hours urine volume in Indians.
