urine concentration test, female urinary tract, male urinary tract, water loading test, water deprivation test, a urine concentration test measures the ability, the kidneys to conserve, excrete water appropriately, urine specific gravity, collect a "clean-catch", midstream, urine sample, obtain a clean-catch sample, men, boys should clean the head, the penis, women, girls need to wash the area between the lips, the vagina, soapy water, rinse well, start to urinate, allow a small amount to fall, toilet bowl to clear the urethra of contaminants, put a clean container under urine stream, catch 1 to 2 ounces of urine, remove the container, urine stream, cap, mark the container, give it, assistant, infants, thoroughly wash the area around the urethra, open a urine collection bag, a plastic bag, an adhesive paper on one end, place it on the infant, males, entire penis, in the bag, adhesive attached, skin, females, bag, over the labia, diaper, usual over the secured bag, take a couple of attempts, lively infants, displace the bag, causing the specimen to be absorbed by the diaper, infant, checked frequently, bag changed, infant has urinated, bag, urine is drained, container, transport, specific gravity of urine is measured, after water loading, urine should, become dilute, water deprivation, urine should, become concentrated, administration of adh, anti-diuretic hormone, should cause the urine to, become concentrated, water loading means drink, excessive amounts of water, receive intravenous solutions, water deprivation means, not drink fluids, eat a normal, balanced diet, several days, submit a urine sample, contamination, the specimen, by vaginal discharge, bleeding, likely, collect a clean-catch sample, instructions, water loading, water deprivation, advise to withhold drugs, affect the test, collection is taken, infant, a couple of extra collection bags necessary, test involves only normal urination, no discomfort, most often, a urine concentration test is performed, diabetes insipidus is suspected, to help differentiate it from nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, siadh, syndrome of inappropriate adh, a condition where urine concentrations, excessively high, water is conserved, given the state of an individual's degree of hydration, another condition where urine concentration values, diagnostic, therapeutic purposes, kidneys regulate the concentration of urine by adjusting the excretion of water, water excretion is regulated, in part, by adh, anti-diuretic hormone, normal values, normal value ranges, among different laboratories, 1.010 to 1.025, normal specific gravity, 1.001 after water loading, than 1.025 after water deprivation, concentrated, increased specific gravity, after adh administration, increased urine specific gravity, dehydration, diarrhea, excessive sweating, glucosuria, heart failure, related to decreased blood flow, kidneys, renal arterial stenosis, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, siadh, vomiting, water restriction, decreased urine specific gravity, excessive fluid intake, diabetes insipidus, renal failure, loss of ability to reabsorb water, pyelonephritis, additional conditions under which the test performed, complicated uti, pyelonephritis, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, drugs, increase specific gravity measurements include dextran, sucrose, radiographic contrast medium, 3 days.
