Dipstick measurements of urine specific gravity are
Aim: To evaluate the reliability of dipstick measurements of urine specific gravity (U-SG). Methods: Fresh urine specimens were tested for urine pH and osmolality (U-pH, U-Osm) by a pH meter and an osmometer, and for U-SG by three different methods (refractometry, automatic readout of a dipstick (Clinitek-50), and (visual) change of colour of the dipstick).
