urine test too dilute

re pretty stumped b/c of the appearance of his urine. No blood at all in it. It is highly, highly dilute, even when his water intake is restricted. Plus, the vomiting shouldn't be going on. The vet is a bit mystified by it. All his chemistries (he had an extensive panel) came back completely normal yesterday. CBC only showed an elevated WBC. Culture is pending so he's on Clavamox starting today. Why would his urine be so dilute?

i dont understand .

Actually, it depends on the swab test used. The urine test is a NAAT type test and is very accurate with a very low false positive rate. But, if the urine collected is too dilute and not the first void of the day, the urine test has a high false negative rate. Based on this, the swab test ,specifically the Gen probe or a culture give the most dependable result (specificity and sensitivity). Take care.

If you drink a bunch of liquid and have gone to the loo several times, your urine will be too dilute (in the early days of pregnancy) to register any hCG even if you are pregnant.

If you drink tons of water shortly before the test, you could have a problem = they often test for Specific Gravity (i.e. how dilute it is) and if it is too dilute, they will make you retest (they would suspect tampering). On the positive side, by the time you re-test, you have an excellent chance of being clean. That is, as long as you don't use after the test. :) Good luck. Be careful. Seems that these things tend to catch up with you eventually. Something to think about.

Drinking lots of fluids (Especially in early pregnancy) can dilute the hormone in your urine, giving false negatives. A positive test is a positive test (especially on a digital where there's no denying). Go see your doctor for a blood test, but you are pregnant. Congrats.

Drinking too much water can dilute your urine, but usually your morning urine is the best to test with. The test may be accurate, but some women don't get positive results as soon as others. A blood test would be the most accurate, so I would contact your doctor if period doesn't come.

it is best to use first morning urine, but, if you can hold your urine for like 4 hours and not drink anything to dilute it then you could test then. Your hormone should be high enough, but, that being said some women dont get a positive until days past their missed cycle..

First morning urine is more concentrated and therefore Hcg levels will be higher and more detectable than in the more dilute urine passed later in the day.

Yes u can be. Ur urine test can come out negative esp if its later in the day because fluid intake will dilute the amount of hcg in the urine. So a blood test is more accurate.

Take your next test with first morning urine. Taking it in the afternoon can dilute it and cause a false negative. Good luck.

Drinking too much before a test can dilute the result. Stop fluids 2 hours before bedtime and test again with first morning urine. If negative again, see your doctor/health care provider for a beta/preg test. Good luck.

If you're late then you can take a test now and get an accurate answer - remember to use first morning urine since it's most concentrated with hCG so you'll get an accurate answer.

If you got up at 5 am and drank a quart of water, then took a pregnancy test at 7 am, it would not give you a good result because your urine would be too dilute. By the same token, if you had been up all day but did not eat or pee from noon to 8 pm for whatever reason, and then took a test, it would give you an accurate result. The first-morning urine instruction is to try to get concentrated urine, since so many women test as early as possible.

If you think your pregnant then it can convince your body even if you are not in fact pregnant. If you think it could be the hook effect, dilute some of your urine and then take a pregnancy test. Hope it all works out for you.

Could also be your prenatals.

Skipping one period is not serious, but I would test for pregnancy again just in case your urine was too dilute the last time.

I think you should go to the dr. and get a blood test. Some women just don't produce enough hormone to turn a home test positive, or their urine is just too dilute. It's possible that you are one of those women. You could also have something else going on, so going to the doctor would help regardless. If you are not pregnant, they can check your hormone levels, thyroid, etc. Good luck to you.

If you think your that far along, then it could pick up,, but your right when you say the water will dilute,, first morning urine is best to do a test, as its the strongest,, xxx I did my test mid day (around 2ish) and it was pos, but faint ,, xx (previous pregnancy) I'm scared of testing now too :)

If you tested incorrectly, such as too early or with dilute urine, and if you had sex exactly the correct time-frame in relation to ovulation, about 20%. If you did the tests late enough and with concentrated urine, the chances are near 0.

Test again with first morning urine!

If your urine is too dilute or you were very early on into a pregnancy when you initially tested, you may have gotten a false negative.

t peed within 3 hours before testing and dont dilute your urine by drinking more than normal) just to be sure. You could also call your Dr for a blood test (I wouldn't do urine at the Dr. just yet as their urine tests don't tend to be as sensitive so it may just cause more confusion) as that is the most sensitive and accurate you can get. Good Luck!! And dare I say... CONGRATS!!

I cant say for sure if it did dilute your urine or not. If you dont think the test is accurate test again. Good luck!
