Urine Specific Gravity test is a diagnostic evaluation that is conducted to measure the concentration of particles in the urine. The test is helpful in diagnosing various medical conditions such as dehydration, kidney disorders, and diabetes. In this test, the density of urine is compared to the density of water to determine the specific gravity of urine.

Symptoms of Medical Conditions Detected by Urine-Specific Gravity Test

The test is recommended to diagnose or detect several medical conditions. Your physician will ask you to undergo the urine-specific gravity test if you exhibit the following symptoms: 
1. Dehydration:
- Dark yellow or amber-coloured urine
- Dry mouth and throat
- Weakness or dizziness
- Sunken eyes
2. Kidney Disorders:
- Swelling in legs, feet, ankles, and face
- Fatigue
- Blood in urine
- Increased urge to urinate
3. Diabetes:
- Excessive thirst
- Frequent urination
- Blurred vision
- Fatigue

Test Procedure for Urine Specific Gravity Test

The Urine Specific Gravity Test requires a clean-catch midstream urine sample. Before collecting the sample, it is necessary to clean the genital area with soap and water thoroughly. Once cleaned, let some urine flow into the toilet before collecting a sample of urine midstream in a sterile container. The sample must be collected as early in the morning as possible to get accurate results.

The collected sample is sent to the laboratory where it is analyzed using a refractometer or dipstick test. The refractometer measures the bending of light through a urine sample to determine the specific gravity while the dipstick measures the density of urine and changes color based on the results.

Treatment for Positive Results

If the results of the Urine Specific Gravity Test are positive, the treatment will depend on the underlying condition. For example, if the test shows signs of dehydration, doctors may recommend drinking more fluids throughout the day or administering intravenous fluids in severe cases. If kidney disease is detected, a specialist might prescribe medications such as diuretics to improve kidney function. In the case of diabetes, a doctor may suggest lifestyle changes like an improved diet and increased exercise to bring down blood sugar levels.
