What should happen to the fluid level if a patient has low urine output?

When a patient experiences low urine output, it often indicates that their body is trying to conserve water due to dehydration, renal issues, or other underlying health conditions. In this context, increasing fluid intake can help restore hydration status and improve renal perfusion, which may enhance kidney function and promote urine production. By providing additional fluids, the body is encouraged to correct any fluid deficits and may help improve blood volume, enabling the kidneys to filter blood more effectively. Thus, increasing fluid intake can be a critical action in managing a patient with low urine output to prevent further complications associated with dehydration or organ dysfunction.
