Hyposthenuria (Hyposthenurid)

Hyposthenuria is the production of urine with low specific gravity. The inability of the kidneys to produce urine of normal specific gravity usually develops in the last stage of chronic renal failure.

In hyposthenuria, the specific gravity of urine is reduced due to the impairment of the kidneys' ability to concentrate urine. Normally, the kidneys reabsorb most of the water and salts from primary urine, forming concentrated urine with a specific gravity of about 1.020. Under pathological conditions, this ability is impaired, which leads to the excretion of an excess volume of dilute urine with low density.

Hyposthenuria is often one of the first signs of developing renal failure. As kidney disease progresses, the degree of dilution of urine increases, and the specific gravity may decrease to 1.005 or lower. Timely diagnosis of hyposthenuria is of great importance for early detection and adequate treatment of kidney diseases.



Hyposthenuria is a pathological condition in which the kidneys are unable to produce urine of normal specific gravity, resulting in low urine output. This condition is usually observed in the last stage of chronic renal failure and can be associated with various factors such as diabetes, hypertension, nephrotic syndrome, amyloidosis and other kidney diseases.

Hyposthenuria can present with a variety of symptoms, including frequent urination, a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder, and pain and discomfort during urination. There may also be a decrease in urine volume, which can lead to dehydration.

Diagnosis of hyposthenuria may include a urine specific gravity test, as well as other laboratory tests. Treatment for hyposthenuria depends on the cause and may include lifestyle changes, such as limiting salt and fluid intake, and the use of medications.

In general, hyposthenuria is a serious disease that requires timely treatment and control. If you notice symptoms of hyposthenuria, consult your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
