Yes, it is very low. In some circumstances a very low urine specific gravity in combination with frequent urination and clear or nearly colorless urine can indicate that you might have Diabetes insipidus. This is s serious medical condition that you should consult your doctor about.
You are dehydrated and you need to increase your fluid intake.
In acute tubular necrosis (ATN), the specific gravity of urine is typically low, often around 1.010 or lower. This is due to the impaired concentrating ability of the kidneys, as the renal tubules are damaged and unable to reabsorb water effectively. As a result, the urine becomes more dilute compared to normal urine, which usually has a specific gravity ranging from 1.010 to 1.030.
Before answering your question, do you produce large amount of urine (polyuria)? LOW Specific Gravity test (1.003-1.009 [I think]) means that you have low amount of particles inside your urine. It is clinical significance serious, it may indicate type I diabetes. (you also may have polyuria) If it is just normal, you just drinking a lot of water (you also may have polyuria)
No.
It means that the material has a low density. The practical implication is that a lot of it doesn't weigh much.
You are dehydrated and you need to increase your fluid intake.
Refrigeration can potentially cause a decrease in urine specific gravity due to the effects of low temperatures on dissolved solutes in the urine, which can lead to crystallization or precipitation. On the other hand, refrigeration can also cause an increase in urine specific gravity if there is evaporation of water, concentrating the urine. Overall, the impact of refrigeration on urine specific gravity may vary depending on the specific composition of the urine and the conditions of refrigeration.

No.
One example of a mineral with low specific gravity is pumice. Pumice is a volcanic rock formed from frothy lava with numerous gas bubbles trapped within its structure, resulting in a low density and specific gravity.
Urine concentration can be measured using a urine specific gravity test or a urine osmolality test. These tests help to assess the amount of solutes in the urine, which reflects the kidneys' ability to concentrate urine. High concentration levels may indicate dehydration, while low levels may suggest overhydration or kidney issues.
A urine specific gravity of 0.999 is unusually low, indicating very dilute urine, which may suggest conditions such as excessive fluid intake, diabetes insipidus, or kidney issues affecting concentration ability. It could also occur if a sample is contaminated with water or if it's improperly collected. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and possible testing to determine the underlying cause.
The specific gravity of lithium is around 0.534 grams per cubic centimeter, which is quite low compared to other metals.
It means it has a low gravity and not very many components of urine substances. It counts as a fail.
Increases in specific gravity (hypersthenuria, i.e. increased concentration of solutes in the urine) may be associated with dehydration, diarrhea, emesis, excessive sweating, urinary tract/bladder infection, glucosuria, renal artery stenosis, hepatorenal syndrome, decreased blood flow to the kidney (as a result of heart failure), and excess of antidiuretic hormone caused by Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone. A specific gravity greater than 1.035 is consistent with frank dehydration. Decreased specific gravity (hyposthenuria, i.e. decreased concentration of solutes in urine) may be associated with renal failure, pyelonephritis, diabetes insipidus, acute tubular necrosis, interstitial nephritis, and excessive fluid intake (e.g., psychogenic polydipsia).
Diabetics can have fluctuating specific gravity levels. In uncontrolled diabetes, specific gravity may be high due to dehydration caused by excessive urination. In controlled diabetes, specific gravity may be normal. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for accurate interpretation of specific gravity levels in diabetics.
A hydrometer is typically used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid. It is a device that floats in the liquid and the specific gravity is determined by how high or low the hydrometer floats in the liquid.
