Urine concentration test (USG) measures how well the kidneys concentrate urine. A reading between 1.015 and 1.045 indicates normal kidney concentrating ability. Well-hydrated dogs will have lower values and dehydrated dogs will have higher values.
A Urine concentration test (USG) at or below 1.012 is called isosthenuria and means the urine is no more concentrated than blood plasma. This is a significant finding that often indicates kidney disease or failure, though certain medications and excessive water intake can also cause dilute urine.
Your vet will check creatinine, BUN, and An early kidney marker (SDMA) to evaluate kidney function. A water deprivation test or serial Urine concentration test (USG) measurements may be recommended to differentiate kidney disease from other causes.
Canine USG: 1.010 (Low, isosthenuric)Urine concentration test (USG) measures how well the kidneys concentrate urine. A reading between 1.015 and 1.045 indicates normal kidney concentrating ability. Well-hydrated dogs will have lower values and dehydrated dogs will have higher values.
No action needed. Your dog's kidneys are concentrating urine appropriately.
Canine USG: 1.030A high Urine concentration test (USG) (above 1.045) means the kidneys are working well to conserve water, but the concentration is high, usually due to dehydration. Less commonly, it can be seen with glucose in the urine (diabetes) or protein loss.
Ensure your dog has access to fresh water at all times. If dehydration is suspected, your vet may recommend subcutaneous or intravenous fluids. If glucosuria is present, further testing for diabetes mellitus is warranted.
