Isostenuria is a sign of the extreme stage of the inflammatory process in the kidneys. This condition is detected by the density of urine, which has a constant specific gravity. This happens during diseases of the human excretory system.
When does urine specific gravity change?
In a healthy person, the parameters of biological fluid periodically change under the influence of the food consumed. If the specific gravity of urine remains constant, then doctors make the diagnosis of isostenuria. This is a condition when you can assume the presence of the following diseases:
- Pyelonephritis is a bacterial inflammation in the kidneys.
- Nephrosclerosis - compaction and wrinkling of organ tissues, loss of basic functions.
- Polycystic disease - the growth of affected areas, which leads to kidney damage.
- Renal failure is a pathological condition leading to malfunctions of the whole organism. The body partially loses its ability to remove water.
Provocateurs of inflammation of the excretory system
Isostenuria is not a major sign of disease. Often there are other deviations in the functioning of the urinary system: nocturia, polyuria, hypostenuria. Only a set of clinical indicators determines the state of the body.
The specific gravity of urine can vary during the day. His persistence suggests that isostenuria is present. The reasons for its appearance:
- viruses;
- infections
- autoimmune diseases;
- diabetes;
- an excess of protein in the body for various reasons: the influence of drugs, chemistry, parasites.
For analysis, a point of urine density is used, ranging from 1.007 to 1.015. The parameter is needed for a quantitative description of the concept of "isostenuria". This is a condition of kidney pain. In a healthy person, the indicator is above the minimum value of 1.023. All changes in the values occur to the given boundary.
