| dc.description.abstract | This current research aims to explore the difference between adult males and females in urine output after Lasix consumption. Furosemide is a diuretic that is used to treat edema (excess fluid in the body) caused by heart failure, liver disease, and renal illness. The sodium-potassium-s chloride (Na+/K+/2Cl-) cotransport of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle can be inhibited by this loop diuretic (NKCC2), which may affect the urine output which is normal ranging between 800-2500 mL per a day. There is only one study about whether there is a difference between urine output rates for both genders. In this study, 12 volunteers were given 40 mg of furosemide intravenously and their urine output was constantly monitored for 6 hours, and the results were recorded. By results, display that there is no significant difference consequent to P-value which was 0.142, and fail to reject the null hypothesis, accomplished by using the T-test, which was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). | en_US |
