Does VP shunt affects the child's urine output in hydrocephalus?Rating: (votes: 0) Think about what a shunt does. You can figure this out. Comment:
hmm.. i cant figure it out.. im thinking YES but in real life scenario, i don't see any changes in urine output they are the same
Comment:
Think where it is draining, the absorption, but if the flow from the VP shunt is normal, you won't see a change.
Comment:
The absorbtion of CSF in the peritoneal cavity is not of sufficent amount to cause a notible increase in urine output. But it almost sounds like you are asking for medical advice and that is something that cannot be offered on this site. If you have questions you should ask the patients MD.
