Urine for Specific Gravity Price in Bangladesh

What is Urine for Specific Gravity?

The Urine for Specific Gravity test measures the concentration of particles in urine, indicating the kidney's ability to concentrate or dilute urine. A urine sample is collected, and a refractometer or dipstick is used to measure specific gravity.

No special preparation is needed. Risks are minimal, with slight discomfort during collection.

High specific gravity may indicate dehydration, kidney disease, or excessive solute concentration, while low levels may suggest overhydration or kidney dysfunction. Medications and hydration status can affect results.

Normal activities can be resumed after the test.

What to expect & how to prepare

Urine for Specific Gravity is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Urine for Specific Gravity result rather than self-diagnosing.
