Clinical Significance
Specific gravity is the ratio of the mass of a solution compared to the mass of an equal volume of water. It is an estimate of the concentration of substances dissolved in the solution.
The determination of body fluid specific gravity can aid in the distinction between transudative and an exudative fluid.Specific gravity in exudates is greater than in transudates.
