The concentration of solutes in a urine specimen compared with a standard specimen; may be altered by disease and other factors.<\/p>\n

\n

The weight of a substance compared with the weight of an equal volume of water. For solid and liquid materials, water is used as a standard and considered to have a specific gravity of 1.000. For gases, the weight per unit volume is compared with that of dry air at a specified temperature and usually at atmospheric pressure.<\/p>\n

The comparison between the density of a substance and that of water is termed its specific gravity. This measurement, such as in urine, can denote whether the substance holds a significant concentration of dissolved materials (around 1.030) or is nearly as watery as water itself (around 1.010).<\/p>\n
