#Urine Specific Gravity

Testing urine specific gravity (USG) . USG measures how concentrated urine is by comparing its density to distilled water. It indicates how much waste, salt and other solids are dissolved in the urine, reflecting the kidney’s ability to dilute or concentrate it. . Measuring USG helps diagnose conditions like diabetes, adrenal disease and certain types of kidney problems . We run this test as part of all our in-house urine testing 👍 #Vets #VeterinarySurgeons #Bristol #Urine #Sample #Testing #SpecificGravity #USG #Refactometer #Laboratory #Lab #VeterinaryNurse #VeterinaryTreatment #PetHealthClub #AnimalHouseVets Music: Views Musician: iksonmusic

Urine Colour Chart – Exam Oriented Golden Points (Nursing) • Clear urine → Excess hydration / diluted urine; seen with overhydration, IV fluids, diabetes insipidus. • Pale yellow → Ideal & healthy urine colour (optimal hydration) • Yellow → Normal but slightly concentrated; mild dehydration possible • Dark yellow / Amber → Dehydration; increase fluid intake • Cloudy urine → Possible UTI (pus cells), phosphates, or contamination • Pink / Red urine → Hematuria; causes include kidney stones, UTI, foods (beetroot), drugs • Brown / Tea-coloured → Liver disease (bilirubin), hemolysis, muscle breakdown (myoglobin) • Dark brown → Severe dehydration or rhabdomyolysis (medical emergency) • Blue / Green (rare) → Certain drugs, dyes, or Pseudomonas infection • Key exam note → Urine colour alone is not diagnostic; persistent abnormal colour needs evaluation.

Here’s a simple demo to help you use a clinical refractometer, which we often use to measure the specific gravity of urine. #penguinprof #anatomyandphysiology #nursingstudent #emtstudent #paramedicstudent #nursingschool #refractometer #urine

Correct Answers: 1,2,3,and 4 Solution: Acute glomerulonephritis commonly presents with: High urine specific gravity due to decreased urine output (oliguria). Oliguria such as urine output less than normal. Tea-colored or smoky urine caused by blood in the urine (hematuria). Periorbital edema especially around the eyes, commonly seen in children and teens. Why Option 5 is incorrect: Massive proteinuria with frothy urine is more characteristic of nephrotic syndrome, not acute glomerulonephritis. 👉 Follow Nursing Orbit 🚀📚 for All India/International Nursing Exams.NCLEX/DHA/DOH/MOH/NORCET(AIIMS) ESIC, DSSSB, RRB, NHM, Staff Nurse, 💉🔥 Daily MCQs, 💯. #nclex#nclexprep#nclexreview#nursing#norcet
