Description

Carrieri et al developed an equation to correlate urine specific gravity with urine creatinine concentration. The authors are from Universita di Padova in Italy.


 

Parameters:

(1) urine specific gravity

(2) urine creatinine concentration in g/L

 

urine specific gravity =

= (0.0098 * LN(urine creatinine in g/L)) + 1.0178

 

If this is rearranged:

 

urine creatinine =

= EXP(((urine specific gravity) - 1.0178) / 0.0098)
