Doctor's Assessment Included
Every result includes a professional assessment from a BIG-registered doctor. For treatment decisions, discuss your results with your GP.
Urine Specific Gravity
Specific gravity reflects how concentrated your urine is, which is closely tied to how well hydrated you are. It typically ranges from about 1.002 to 1.035.
Reference Ranges
Reference ranges may vary between laboratories. When you order a test, a BIG-registered doctor assesses your personal results in context. For treatment decisions, discuss your results with your GP.
What It Measures
This part of the dipstick estimates urine concentration. A high value often simply reflects dehydration, while a consistently low value can be relevant to how the kidneys concentrate urine and is read with the rest of the panel.
Lifestyle Tips
Specific gravity rises when you drink too little and falls when you drink a lot. Spreading your fluid intake through the day helps keep hydration steady.
