Is urine specific gravity of 1.004 low?
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.
Your specific gravity test was low what does it mean?
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)
Are metals generally have low specific gravity?
No.
What does low specific gravity means in materials?
It means that the material has a low density. The practical implication is that a lot of it doesn't weigh much.
What is the importance of doing specific gravity of urine?
s.g. is the density of a substance as compared to that of the density of water which is 1.000.s.g. of a solution depends on the amount of solute present and also on the temp. of the solution.the s.g. increases with increasing conc. of the solute. the s.g. of normal urine is 1.003 to 1.030.if the kidney is functioning properly, the concentrated first morning sample of urine should have a s.g.greater than a.020. usually, increased discharge of urine accompanied by decrease s.g.is typical of diabetes insipidus. on the other hand, high volume of urine discharged with increased s.g. suggests glucosuriya, associated with diabetes mellitus, or proteinuria. if the conc. power of the kidney is disturbed, there is a combination of low s.g. and low volume of urine discharged. this occurs in case of glomerulonephritis and pyelonephritis. two methods are employed in measuring the s.g., urinometer method and refractometer method.

Do diabetics have a high or low specific gravity?
A person's glucose control is completely unrelated to his specific gravity.
What does concentrate urine mean?
Urine with a relatively low amount of water in it.
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).
What happens when ua is dilluted?
It means it has a low gravity and not very many components of urine substances. It counts as a fail.
What is light oil?
Light oil has a low density and flows freely when found in room temperature. It also has low specific gravity and low viscosity.
What does low specific gravity means in materials?
It means that the material has a low density. The practical implication is that a lot of it doesn't weigh much.
What do you mean by methane layering related to underground coal mining?
As the specific gravity of the methane is 0.55 that is low it tends to accur at roof level that's why it is known as methane layering
What has the highest specific gravity?
On Earth, the material Osmium has the highest density at 22.59 g/cm3 and hence the highest specific gravity (as specific gravity is the density of a material relative to a reference material - commonly water).
A low specific gravity will indicate what DISEASE?
Excretion of large amounts of urine with low specific gravity less than 1.005 can be an indication of diabetes insipidus. Diabetes insipidus is a disorder of the posterior pituitary gland, usually resulting from the absence OR underproduction of ADH due to trama, or lesion to the hypothalamus, infundibular stem, or pituitary gland which produce and secrete ADH (Central DI). An insensitivity to ADH in the tubules of the nephrons (nephrongenic DI). Most rare is psychogenic DI in which there is an excessive water intake which results from trauma in the thirst center of the brain or a psychiatric disorder.
