A discrepant urine specific gravity.

چکیده
A 21-year-old man presented after being struck by a car and underwent a computed tomography scan of the chest and spine. Three hours later, his clear yellow urine sample was sent to the laboratory. A routine urinalysis with the Roche Urisys® 2400 indicated the specific gravity (SG) as a flag, i.e., an error for SG. A manual repeat of the SG measurement was also not readable by refractometer (no boundary line on the scale) but was 1.015 according to Roche Chemstrips®. The urine osmolality was 500 mOsm/kg (adult reference interval, 50 –1200 mOsm/kg).

Introduction: Water is an essential nutrient for life. It comprises 75% of total body weight in infants,60% in adult males and 50% in adult females. Decrease in body water is commonly known as dehydration. Acute or chronic dehydration is a common condition in some population groups, especialy the elderly and those who participate in physical activity in warm enviroments. Potential consequences ...
متن کاملCorrelation of specific gravity and osmolality of urine in neonates and adults.
There is good correlation between the specific gravity and osmolality of urine obtained from neonates and adults, if specimens contain neither protein nor glucose. The regression equations between specific gravity and osmolality, however, differ considerably between the two age groups, maturation to the adult regression occurring within the first 5 years of life. Specifically derived regression...
متن کاملReplacing creatinine measurements with specific gravity values to adjust urine cotinine concentrations.
Creatinine and specific gravity (relative density) measurements both allow differences in urine concentration to be taken into account in determining urine cotinine concentrations. In this study we demonstrate that the variance of urine cotinine measurements is reduced comparably when either creatinine or specific gravity measurements are used for correction. This reduction in variability impro...

or 1045." Again, we are told by another -writer that in diagnosing a case of diabetes " the density of diabetic urine, however, is one of the best indications. This fluid varies in density from 1030 to 1074 (Becquerel); but, on an average and tolerably constantly, it is 1040; and when the urinometer stands above 1030, we may suspect that sugar is present.". (Aitken's Science and Practice of Med...
متن کاملReliability of Urinary Excretion Rate Adjustment in Measurements of Hippuric Acid in Urine
The urinary excretion rate is calculated based on short-term, defined time sample collections with a known sample mass, and this measurement can be used to remove the variability in urine concentrations due to urine dilution. Adjustment to the urinary excretion rate of hippuric acid was evaluated in 31 healthy volunteers (14 males and 17 females). Urine was collected as short-term or spot sampl...
