Urine osmolality is a measure of urine concentration, in which large values indicate concentrated urine and small values indicate diluted urine. In healthy individuals with restricted fluid intake, urine osmolality should be greater than 800mOsm/kg, while a 24 hour urine osmolality should average between 500 and 800 mOsm/kg and a random urine osmolality should be 50 to 1400 mOsm/kg .
Famous quotes containing the word urine:
“There seems to be no stopping drug frenzy once it takes hold of a nation. What starts with an innocuous HUGS, NOT DRUGS bumper sticker soon leads to wild talk of shooting dealers and making urine tests a condition for employment—anywhere.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
