The ratio is 1: 1

Normal people urinate at night 0-2 times, the volume of urine is 300-400 ml, about 1 / 4-1 / 3 of the total amount in 24 hours. With age, the ratio of daytime urine output to nocturnal urine output gradually decreases, and the ratio is 1: 1 at the age of 60.

If the number of urination at night and the volume of urine are significantly increased, and the volume of urine is more than half of the total volume of urine throughout the day, it is called 'nocturia.' Normal people do not drink water or eat after dinner. After falling asleep, the body's metabolic rate is low, and blood flow is slow. The raw urine passing through the renal tubules can be fully absorbed, so nocturia is significantly less than daytime urine output.

The increase in nocturia is mainly clinically due to:

Nocturia is caused by mental factors, and the number of nocturia is mainly increased, and the amount is generally not much. Strictly speaking, those who only increase the frequency of urination without increasing the amount of urine do not belong to the category of nocturia.

Draining nocturia: due to retention of water in the body, especially in the case of cardiac insufficiency, the amount of returning blood after supine at night increases, the renal blood flow also increases, and the urine volume also increases. Common in patients with various heart diseases accompanied by cardiac insufficiency.
