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
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%.
