What condition favor kidney stones?
Prolonged high specific gravity, which is the measure of concentrated urine. A condition that causes this is prolonged dehydration.
How does freezing urine affect specific gravity?
Decrease, you are making the specific gravity closer to that of water.
What does it mean when a urine test states you have high urine content?
If you mean like high amount of urine: Polyuria. If you mean like high amount of particles inside the urine: High specific gravity = your urine may have high levels of glucose, protein, bilirubin, urobilinogen, or/and a lot of mucus, crystals, bacteria, and tissue/blood cells.
Do diabetics have a high or low specific gravity?
A person's glucose control is completely unrelated to his specific gravity.
What causes your urine to be diluted?
Water, and high sugars!
Why would a canned tomato puree with high specific gravity usually be more expensive than one with lower specific gravity?
It must be thickerer. Therefore, it must take more tomatoes to make the "high specific gravity" type.
What is specific gravity of high speed diesel?
8.5
Causes for high monocytes?
When you drink too much urine, it causes an increase in monocyte levels
Why dolomite has high specific gravity than limestone?
It is denser.
What is the specific gravity of grape juice?
it depends on from how high you drop it...
What is a high specific gravity?
it is important because it helps determine what the mineral you are looking for is
What does a high or low specific gravity of urine signify?
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).
