ABSTRACT Objective Detecting hypotonic urine (specific gravity < 1005 g/L) is crucial for the early identification of arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP‐deficiency), a common complication after pituitary surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between urine specific gravity measurements taken by patients using urine test strips and those ...
