What is Urine Specific Gravity?
Urine specific gravity assesses the concentration of your urine, reflecting your hydration status and how well your kidneys are conserving water and excreting waste. Normal values typically fall between 1.005 and 1.030. This marker helps evaluate your body's fluid balance and kidney performance.
What does it assess?
Urine specific gravity provides insight into kidney function, hydration status, and overall fluid regulation. It can help identify whether the kidneys are concentrating urine properly or if there's an imbalance in your water intake or loss.
How do I optimize my Urine Specific Gravity levels?
Stay well hydrated by drinking 2 to 3 liters of water daily, adjusting for activity level and climate. Eat a balanced diet with adequate electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, which influence kidney water regulation. Avoid excessive salt or diuretics that may disrupt concentration.
What does a high and low Urine Specific Gravity mean?
A high specific gravity may indicate dehydration, concentrated urine, or possible kidney dysfunction. It could also result from high protein intake or fluid loss. Low specific gravity, on the other hand, may reflect overhydration or an inability of the kidneys to concentrate urine, which can occur in certain chronic conditions or after significant fluid intake.
