Urine Hypotonic

Hypotonic urine is a medical term for a condition where urine has a low density compared to the normal density of blood plasma. This condition can be caused by various reasons and requires attention from medical professionals. In this article we will look at what hypotonic urine is, why it occurs and how to treat it.

Urine is hypotonic if its density is below 1.015 grams/cc. cm (normal - from 1.006 to 1.405). This condition is accompanied by the following symptoms:

- Low urination volume - Extreme thirst - Loss of appetite and weight - Weakness and fatigue

The causes of hypotonic urine may be the following:

1. Dehydration (lack of fluid in the body) - when the body is dehydrated, the volume of blood decreases, and with it the volume of urine. At the same time, the concentration of salt in the urine increases, which leads to hypotension. 2. Kidney failure is a pathological condition of the urinary system in which the kidneys cannot remove enough fluid from the body. 3. Hemodialysis is a blood purification procedure for chronic renal failure. 4. Volumetric hemorrhage - accumulation of blood in tissues or internal organs, which occurs either as a result of injury or due to a blood clotting disorder. 5. Dehydration is the loss of water in the body caused by insufficient fluid intake or increased activity of the sweat glands. 6. Vomiting, diarrhea - these phenomena also cause fluid loss and

Hypotonic urine is urine whose density is less than that of plasma. This happens when urinary sediment is diluted with water and there is a low content of urates in the urine. Urine should be examined to rule out kidney disease, urinary incontinence, urinary tract obstruction, and spinal cord damage. Blood flow and renal function are assessed either by clinical symptoms or by laboratory testing of plasma creatinine levels
