Relationships among urinary protein‐to‐creatinine ratio, urine specific gravity, and bacteriuria in canine urine samples [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2019 Background Proteinuria is a marker of chronic kidney disease in dogs and a risk factor for increased morbidity and death. Predictive models using the results of readily available screening tests could foster early recognition.

Hematology/Oncology and Stem Cell Therapy, 2021 As part of the evaluation for chemotherapy readiness, urine specific gravity is measured to assess the patient’s overall hydration status. Depending on the accuracy of the methods used, patients may be adversely affected by having their chemotherapy ...

Dipstick measurements of urine specific gravity are unreliable [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2001 AIMTo evaluate the reliability of dipstick measurements of urine specific gravity (U-SG).METHODSFresh urine specimens were tested for urine pH and osmolality (U-pH, U-Osm) by a pH meter and an osmometer, and for U-SG by three different methods (refractometry, automatic readout of a dipstick (Clinitek-50), and (visual) change of colour of the dipstick ...

Clinical utility of urine specific gravity, electrical conductivity, and color as on‐farm methods for evaluating urine concentration in dairy cattle [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2019 Background Urine concentration (UC) provides clinically useful information concerning hydration status and renal function of animals. Objectives To characterize the clinical performance of urine specific gravity measured by optical refractometry (USG‐R ...

Severe recurrent hypernatremia and probable lithium-associated nephrogenic diabetes insipidus following pancreatectomy in a patient with schizophrenia: a case report [PDF]
Frontiers in MedicineBackgroundNephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is characterized by impaired renal responsiveness to arginine vasopressin, causing defective urinary concentration and large volumes of dilute urine. Long-term lithium exposure is an important acquired cause.
