1 DU, par jour

French term or phrase: 1 DU, par jour
From the list of discharge treatments of an elderly diabetic patient admitted to hospital with a stroke
...
PANTOPRAZOLE 20 MG - 1 cpr, soir
Stimuler boisson: 1.5 L liquides/j - 1 DU, par jour
I presume 'DU' here refers to débit urinaire? but I'm not sure exactly what this means in context. I presume this patient is to be encouraged to drink at least 1.5 L of liquids a day but '1 - DU, par jour' has me baffled.
Suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks

Explanation:
You're right, it refers to débit urinaire. In English we'd refer to micturation, assuming that the patient isn't cathetirised.

Notes to answerer
Asker: So do you think the clinician is suggesting the patient needs to be encouraged to drink because he's only passing urine once a day?
