Common Questions and Answers about Urine test specific gravity

I had one glass of water in the morning and had the test in the afternoon. It also came back diluted. Specific gravity 1.002. I went to my doctor to find out if it was a side effect from medicine. She said no and sent me for another urinalysis. It also came back as diluted with a specific gravity of 1.000. 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.

high specific gravity means high specific gravity, protein in the urine is a different measurement that is easily checked. Traces of protein are of no concern and often mean many things other than kidney disease.

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).

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?

dehydration, adrenal insufficiency, nephrosis, congestive cardiac-failure, liver disease. The best way to know if someone is dehydrated is to look at the colour of their urine. It should be light in colour. The darker it is means it is more concentrated. There will be a dry mouth, not having enough urine to pee (less than 3 wet diapers for a baby would indicate the baby was dehydrated). If you pinch the skin and it takes a long time to spring back, that too can mean dehydration.

Specific gravity is different for everyone and is higher when you aren'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.

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?

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.

My question is would NGU have risen any of these values in my urine test? Many of the things the urine test for were infection in my urine but all were normal. I already have HSV1 and my partner swears they have no symptoms of anything. So im guessing HSV2 and syphilis are not likely. Please advise?

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).

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.

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.

Doc narrorwed it down to diabetes insipidus or neurological (meaning she's neurotic). We have to test specific gravity and go from there. If it's normal, she's doing it to herself out of boredom. Ugh.
