What to do when urine specific gravity is low

If low urine density is present, most often physiological, repeated tests may be performed to determine whether the condition persists and, depending on the accompanying symptoms and other necessary laboratory and ancillary tests, to determine whether there is pathological low urine density, because the acid-base change in urine is affected by disease, medication, diet, urine is left too long, bacteria can decompose, urea is acidic urine becomes alkaline. Daily dietary structure also affects the pH of urine. The urine of carnivorous people is acidic, while the urine of vegetarian-based people is alkaline. If pathological urine pH value decreases, it is often seen in acidosis, high fever, gout, diabetes and oral acid drugs such as ammonium chloride and vitamin C. Acidic urine due to hypokalemia is one of its characteristics. The effects of certain drugs can cause urine acidification, such as ammonium chloride acid urine is often used for clinical treatment, so in the evaluation of low pH value, often consider whether it is physiological problems, only if there is a clear uncomfortable performance of other systems, only consider pathological problems.
