Urinary specific gravity (SG) is a measure of the concentration of solutes in the urine. It measures the ratio of urine density compared with water density and provides information on the kidneyâs ability to concentrate urine.
Specific gravity (SG), defined as Ï milk /Ï water, is identified in a similar way, for example, SG2020 or SG420, where the superscript is the temperature at which the milk density was measured, and the subscript the temperature at which the density of water was determined.
