What does a low result mean?

A low reading (near 1.005) simply indicates pale, well-diluted urine following generous fluid consumption.

What does a high result mean?

A higher reading (above 1.025) reflects concentrated morning urine or temporary mild dehydration.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Does this simply reflect my fluid drinking habits prior to sampling?
  • Do my kidneys concentrate and dilute urine effectively?
  • What daily water intake best fits my lifestyle?
