For example, for a pregnancy test that displays the urine concentration of hCG, the predictive value increases with increasing hCG value.
Urine osmolality is a measure of urine concentration, in which large values indicate concentrated urine and small values indicate diluted urine.
The Co antigen is found on a protein called aquaporin-1 which is responsible for water homeostasis and urine concentration.
Conversely, urine concentrations of free light chains could increase if renal function improved in a multiple myeloma patient receiving treatment.
Thus, use of these drugs is contraindicated in persons already with a high urine concentration of uric acid (hyperuricosuria).
The absorption of 5-ASA by the colon is poor, resulting in very low serum and urine concentrations and high faecal concentrations.
The results also show that the urine concentrations of neurotransmitter metabolites are abnormal in patients with this disorder.
After resolution of the antigenemia, urine concentrations can be followed to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and, thereafter, to identify relapse.
It takes most people about 8 cups of coffee providing 100 mg/cup to reach this urine concentration.
To control for urine concentration, data were normalized to urine creatinine concentrations, as previously described [ 20].
