In hypovolemic shock, urine output is typically less than how many cc per hour?

In hypovolemic shock, the body experiences a significant loss of blood volume, which leads to a reduction in perfusion to the kidneys. This decreased perfusion results in diminished urine output as the body attempts to conserve fluid and maintain blood pressure. A urine output of less than 25 to 30 cc per hour is indicative of acute kidney injury or severe impairment in renal perfusion.

The threshold of 25 to 30 cc aligns with the recognition that a very low urine output in this range can be a critical sign of inadequate renal blood flow due to hypovolemia. It signals that the body is in an urgent state and that immediate medical intervention is necessary to restore circulation and volume.

The other ranges provided, while likely lower than normal urine output, do not accurately represent the threshold commonly associated with hypovolemic shock in medical practice. Specifically, a urine output of less than 25 cc per hour is more definitively indicative of significant renal compromise related to hypovolemic conditions, reinforcing the urgency of addressing the underlying causes of the shock.
