Water Intake in Drinks and Food: How Should We Advise Patients With Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction on Their Water Intake and/or Urine Output, as a Cornerstone of Lifestyle Interventions? ICI‐RS 2024

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: CONTEXT: Water intake in drinks and food is essential for life. Multiple guidelines exist to help give recommendations for healthy water intake and urine output, but few of these are specific to patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. METHODS: A debate held at the International Consultation on Incontinence-Research Society meeting, held in Bristol in June 2024, considered ways to improve this situation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There are challenges in measuring both total water intake and also urine output, but we suggest that urine output may be the most helpful measure to focus on for future guidelines for patients.
