Step 1
A specific gravity of 1.000 is considered normal, indicating that the urine has the same density as water. In this case, a specific gravity of 1.042 indicates that the urine sample is denser than water. This means that there are more solutes (such as minerals, Show more…

A 5.000-mL urine sample has a mass of 5.025 g. If the normal range for the specific gravity of urine is 1.003 to 1.030, would the specific gravity of this urine sample indicate that the patient could have type 2 diabetes?

The normal range for the specific gravity of urine is 1.003 to $1.030 .$ A 5.0 mL sample of urine has a mass of $5.36 \mathrm{g} .$ What is the specific gravity of the urine? Is the urine considered normal? Why or why not?
A voided urine specimen is delivered from the women's clinic to the laboratory six hours after collection. The following results are reported: Color: yellow Protein: negative Bilirubin: negative Clarity: cloudy Glucose: negative Urobilinogen: 0.2 mg/dL Sp. Gravity: 1.020 Ketone: negative Nitrite: positive pH: 9.0 Blood: negative Leukocytes: negative What might these results indicate?
