Urine Concentration: Indicator Of Hydration And Kidney Function
Kidney function assessment includes evaluating urine concentration, an indicator of hydration status. Concentrated urine (high specific gravity or osmolality) suggests dehydration, while diluted urine may indicate overhydration or kidney dysfunction. Understanding dilution principles is crucial for proper hydration management. In general, excessive water intake can dilute urine, potentially compromising kidney function. Therefore, it’s important to […]
