PCN Tube (Urine) for Specific Gravity

This test measures the concentration of solutes in urine, indicating kidney function and hydration levels. Preparation involves collecting a clean urine sample. During the test, urine is placed in a PCN tube, and the specific gravity is measured using a refractometer. Risks are minimal, with the primary concern being contamination during sample collection. After the test, no special care is needed. Results show the urine's ability to concentrate or dilute, with values outside the normal range suggesting dehydration, kidney disease, or urinary tract infections. Conditions like diabetes or kidney issues may affect the results.
