This is especially important when someone has an injury, infection or there is a lack of water in the body.

Many researches show that a healthy person should have about 0.5 to 1 ml of urine every hour according to his weight. For example, if your weight is 60 kg, then your urine should be 30 to 60 ml in 1 hour. If your quantity is around this, then it is a sign of proper functioning of the kidney.

You can choose any 10 hours of the day when you can collect urine without any interruption.

Take a clean one-litre bottle on which there are markings to check the quantity.

For the next 10 hours, whatever urine you pass, collect it in this bottle only.

After the completion of 10 hours, check the amount of urine collected in the bottle.

If your weight is 60 kg, then 300 to 600 ml of urine in 10 hours is considered normal.

If your weight is different, then you can estimate the quantity according to your weight.

If you have diabetes, high blood pressure or a habit of taking more painkillers, then you can do this test once or twice a month.
