4 wrz 2024 · Interpreting Results. A urine specific gravity measurement higher than 1.030 suggests that the concentration of solutes in urine is high. However, this result should be interpreted in terms of the patient's overall health, hydration status, diet, and any potential medical conditions.
PURPOSE: To review current practice of confirming all dipstick urinalysis specific gravity’s ≥ 1.030 with a refractometer. The urine dipstick test is a screening test for a variety of metabolic disease processes. Normal specific gravity ranges from 1.001 – 1.035. A specific gravity of >1.023 in a random urine sample serves as good
Specific Gravity measures the ability of the kidney to concentrate or dilute the urine and is directly proportional to urine osmolality (solute concentration). Specific gravity between 1.002 and 1.035 on a random sample is normal IF kidney function is normal.
12 maj 2022 · Urinary specific gravity (SG) is a measure of the concentration of solutes in the urine. It measures the ratio of urine density compared with water density and provides information on the...
8 lis 2023 · A urine specific gravity test compares the density of urine and water. It can help doctors diagnose a variety of conditions, including dehydration.
Urinalysis: Specific Gravity Answers: A = 1.045 (within normal range) B = 1.010 (lower than normal range) C = 1.030 (within normal range) The normal ranges for Urine Specific Gravity (USG) as referenced from Merck Veterinary Manual are: Dog 1.016 –1.060 Cat 1.020 –1.040 Urine Specific Gravity (USG) interpretation:
Specific gravity, in the context of clinical pathology, is a urinalysis parameter commonly used in the evaluation of kidney function and can aid in the diagnosis of various renal diseases.
