Common Questions and Answers about Urine test gravity

urine-test

Avatar n tn I was referred to a kidney specialist who reviewed my results and ordered more lab work and had me do a fasting (food and water) blood and urine test but it all came back normal. What else could cause diluted urine. I am about to loose the job because I can't pass the drug test. I am not trying to cover up or hide anything and the employer won't let me take the blood drug test unless I have a medical diagnosis. Please help!
Avatar f tn I was then told that my urine specific gravity was high (above what they could test for) and I had elevated bilirubin in my urine and when I asked about the bilirubin was told that my liver was probably stressed by my dehydration (as indicated by the specific gravity and urine color).
Avatar f tn t drinking and urinating a lot, once you loom at enough cups of urine you can usually call gravity by the color and clarity before you even test it lol.
Avatar f tn burning in kidneys Sent by lwack 1 minute having a burning sensation in my kidneys and nausea I did a urine test strip first thing this morning. All results were fine apart from trace leukocytes, highest specific gravity and highest ketones. I do not take medication and do not feel unwell enough to go to the doctor I am not sure what these mean and should I worry?
Avatar n tn The test strips that I use are 10LG Parameter Urine Reagent Strips which can be bought on line at a reasonable price. These strips detect Leukocytes, Nitrite, Urobilinogen, Protein, pH, Blood, Specific Gravity, Ketone, Bilirubin, Glucose. You can get strips that detect less. The one that would be of interest if someone is suffering from dehydration is the Specific Gravity reading.
Avatar m tn Around two months ago I started seeing a nephrologist to see if the blood is coming from the kidneys, and around the same time my UA test started showing protein in my urine. Bellow are the results of my last UA and a 24hr urine protein. With this results, Is the protein in my urine secondary to the gross hematuria or am I having protein in my urine because some how my kidneys are not working right??? Any help will be really appreciated.
Avatar n tn I took a test that I believe is called a urine specific gravity test but I'm not sure. They didn't find anything in the test, is it safe to assume that it would have detected blood cells or bacteria from chlamydia and gonorrhea?
Avatar f tn I am taking 16mg of suboxone a day, how long will the subs last in my urine? I have been taking subs for about 3 months and i would have like a day or two break in between taking it sometimes. how long will the subs give me a hot urine for??? will it still be 72hrs to clean out of my system or will it take longer since i have been taking it for 3 months.?
Avatar m tn Hi if you have gono the Naat test is very accurate but getting the first bit of urine in the cup is the most important aspect of urine testing and being to diluted would not be an issue
Avatar n tn Hi, relax, all is fine but do get your test repeated after 2 months. What about urine report? Your blood report suggests no kidney issues.
Avatar m tn 5 Her recent bloodwork was great with a Bun of 20 and a creatinine of 1.1 but the urine came back as dilute with a specific gravity of 1.008. Culture was done and was negative. I decided to purchase a refractometer to check the specific gravity on my own and last night it tested at 1.034 and this morning first pee was 1.015 and then pees after that were around 1.018. Wondering if this is very early renal disease or nothing to concern myself with.
Avatar m tn My dipstick test came back negative for protein. My numbers were in the normal range for gravity and ph balance. Its color was a pale yellow. I am not really peeing any more or less. My gp seelmed satisfied with the results and told me not to worry. I am not so sure.
Avatar f tn These are the results of my urine test. Some of the values are a bit high, can you provide me more infos on them? Thanks. Specific gravity - 1.
Avatar m tn In addition In the blood test that was taken concurrently with the 'morning' urine sample (specific gravity 1.012), both UREA and CREAT readings were reported as below the norm (2.9L mmol (range 3.0-7.5), 56L mmol (range 60-110) respectively).
Avatar n tn If you are trying to beat the urine test, well, after roughly 24-48 hours you should be fine. There are always variables - how much you take, how often, your metabolism, other meds/chemicals you're on, etc. Also of note - not all urine drug screens test for the same thing - this is usually determined by the cost factor - The more sensitive and comprehensiv ethe test, the more expensive. Darvocet tests positive if they are testing for propoxyphene - not all tests do this.
Avatar m tn You can have infection that does not show on the standard test of nitrites but with the number of epithelial cells /hpf 5- it is most likely not a clean catch, mid stream urine. I would suggest you redo the urine test and be very careful, it is hard to get a good "sterile" or as sterile as possible urine sample. More importantly then the UA is the symptoms your experiencing that go along with a the WBC. That will tell the doctro more about your clinical situation.
