Question

multiple choice question
______ measures how dilute or concentrated the urine is.

○ leukocyte concentration
○ specific gravity
○ protein testing
○ ketone testing

Explanation:

• Leukocyte concentration measures white blood cells in urine (for infection), not urine concentration.
• Specific gravity measures the ratio of urine's density to water's, indicating how dilute/concentrated urine is.
• Protein testing checks for protein in urine (sign of kidney issues), not concentration.
• Ketone testing detects ketones (from fat metabolism), not urine concentration.

Answer:

B. Specific gravity
