How to treat urine specific gravity less than or equal to 1.005

The treatment of urine specific gravity less than or equal to 1.005 is related to the cause of the abnormal urine specific gravity. If it is caused by acute or chronic interstitial nephritis or hypertension, symptomatic supportive treatment is recommended. If the urine specific gravity decreases rapidly in a short period of time, it may be caused by drinking a lot of water and does not require special treatment.
1. Acute and chronic interstitial nephritis: when suffering from acute and chronic interstitial nephritis, it will lead to interstitial damage, which will make the urine specific gravity decrease in different degrees or urinary reabsorption abnormality, which will lead to the poor concentration function of renal tubules. Treatment is usually based on symptomatic supportive therapy, paying attention to correcting electrolyte disorders, correcting renal anemia and controlling blood pressure.
2. Hypertensive injury: long-term hypertension or high blood pressure can directly cause vascular injury, which can stimulate the renal system to appear concentration function injury or reabsorption abnormality, which can also cause urine specific gravity is too low, this time need to take antihypertensive drugs regularly for blood pressure control. Antihypertensive drugs can choose torasemide, furosemide and so on can lower the pressure diuretic.
3. Drinking a lot of water: If you drink too much water at once in a short period of time, it may also cause a decrease in the specific gravity of urine, which belongs to the normal physiological regulation of the body, and can be effectively relieved by appropriately reducing the amount of water.
In the case of decreased urine specific gravity, it is recommended that further morning urine examination, according to the specific cause of the disease in the doctor’s guidance to choose the appropriate drugs for treatment, do not self-medication.
