00:00 So let's wrap up this part of the video series. 00:03 An elevated urine specific gravity can indicate dehydration from volume loss, or be the result of renal, cardiac, or an endocrine disorder. 00:13 Elevated glucose, protein, red blood cells, white blood cells, or stinky bacteria can also cause an elevated urine specific gravity. 00:23 A patient who's receiving dextran, sucrose, or IV contrast may also have an inaccurate urine specific gravity temporarily until it makes it through their system. 00:33 Thanks for watching our video today.
The lecture Causes of High Urine Specific Gravity: In a Nutshell (Nursing) by Rhonda Lawes, PhD, RN is from the course Urine Specific Gravity – Urinalysis (Nursing).
