Urine concentration test
Alternative names:
water deprivation test; water loading test
Normal values:
1.010 to 1.025 (normal specific gravity) 1.001 after water loading more than 1.025 after water deprivation concentrated (increase in specific gravity) after ADH administration
What abnormal results mean:
Increased urine specific gravity may indicate: Decreased urine specific gravity may indicate: Additional conditions under which the test may be performed:
