Lab procedure to find specific gravity of urine:
Hydrometer to measure urine specific gravity
The Increased specific gravity is seen in:
The Decreased specific gravity is seen in:
What is the specific gravity of glomerular Ultrafiltrate?The glomerular filtration rate is evaluated by multiplication of the minute diuresis at a specific gravity of 1001 by the factor 6.67. In this manner the chemical analysis of urine and blood is avoided.
What is the specific gravity of the glomerular filtrate quizlet?The specific gravity of glomerular filtrate is 1.010. A normal specific gravity of urine ranges between 1.005-1.030. The higher the specific gravity, the more concentrated the urine.
What is meant by the specific gravity of urine quizlet?specific gravity. measure of its concentration or amount of particles in urine. - 1.010- 1.025. Concentrated urine has a higher specific gravity which may indicate dehydration.
When fluid intake is normal the specific gravity of urine should be?Normal Results
In general, normal values for specific gravity are as follows: 1.005 to 1.030 (normal specific gravity) 1.001 after drinking excessive amounts of water. More than 1.030 after avoiding fluids.
