Question

Urine-specific gravity is a measure of the concentration of solutes in the urine. It measures the ratio of urine density compared with the water density and provides information on the kidney’s ability to concentrate urine. A urinary-specific gravity measurement is a routine of urinalysis. The normal reference range is 1.005 to 1.030.
