The Specific Gravity test is a urine test that measures the concentration of dissolved substances in urine. It helps determine how well the kidneys are able to concentrate or dilute urine.
Normal specific gravity values vary depending on fluid intake and body hydration. High specific gravity may indicate dehydration, kidney dysfunction, or the presence of substances like glucose or protein in urine. Low values may suggest overhydration or impaired kidney function.
This test is commonly included in routine urine analysis and provides important information about hydration status, kidney health, and overall metabolic balance.
The purpose of this test is to
- To measure urine concentration
- To assess hydration status
- To evaluate kidney function
- To detect abnormalities in urine composition
- To support routine urine analysis
