WHAT IS URINE SPECIFIC GRAVITY?
|
URINE SPECIFIC GRAVITY IS A MEASUREMENT OF THE KIDNEYS ABILITY TO CONCENTRATE AND EXCRETE URINE.SPECIFIC GRAVITY MEASURES URINE CONCENTRATION BY MEASURING DENSITY OF URINE AND COMPARING IT WITH DISTILLED WATER, WHICH IS 1 (1ML OF DISTILLED WATER WEIGHS 1g). The number, weight , and size of urine solutes (particles) determine its specific gravity (density. Normally, specific gravity is INVERSELY PROPRTIONAL TO URINE VOLUME.
