what the risks are female urinary tract, male urinary tract, urine density, urine s, g, urine specific gravity measures the concentration of particles, in the urine, urine concentration test, child, adult, 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, infant, 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, health care provider, advise to withhold drugs, affect the test, "special considerations", eat a normal, balanced diet, several days, collection is taken, infant, a couple of extra collection bags necessary, test involves only normal urination, no discomfort, specific gravity measures the concentration of particles, solution, grams/ml, osmolality, exact measurement of urine concentration than specific gravity, specific gravity depends on the precise nature, the molecules present, in the urine, specific gravity also, correction, glucose, protein, the specific gravity measurement is easier, convenient to test, frequently makes the osmolality measurement unnecessary, normal values, between 1.002 to 1.028, normal value ranges, among different laboratories, abnormal results indicate the following, 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, central, diabetes insipidus, nephrogenic, renal failure, loss of ability to reabsorb water, pyelonephritis, additional conditions under which the test performed, acute tubular necrosis, complicated uti, pyelonephritis, hepatorenal syndrome, interstitial nephritis, no risks, drugs, increase specific gravity measurements include dextran, sucrose, radiographic contrast medium, 3 days.
