What does urine conductivity mean?

Urine conductivity is the ability of ions in urine to conduct electricity.

Urine conductivity is an important indicator in urine test, which reflects the concentration and type of ions in urine. Understanding the significance and interpretation method of urine conductivity is of great significance for evaluating kidney function and diagnosing urinary system diseases. Urine conductivity is a comprehensive indicator to evaluate the concentration and type of ions in urine, which depends on the concentration and type of various electrolytes in urine, such as sodium, potassium, chlorine, calcium, etc. Under normal circumstances, urine conductivity should be maintained in a relatively stable range, flow instrumental method is 5~38mS/cm.
