Why This Biomarker Matters

Acceptable specific gravity ensures urine test results are valid and interpretable. If unacceptable, retesting with a properly concentrated sample may be needed for accurate diagnosis.

Overview

Specific gravity measures the concentration of dissolved substances in urine relative to water. This quality control test ensures your urine sample is adequately concentrated for accurate testing. If urine is too dilute (low specific gravity), test results may be unreliable because substances are overly diluted. This quality check confirms that your urine sample is suitable for valid laboratory analysis and interpretation.
