A member asked:
I had two tall boy high gravity beers on saturday night, then went in for an etg on tuesday afternoon at about 5 pm. my urine was heavily diluted. ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Is what ok?: I will document a dilute urine as a "refusal to submit to test". If that's ok, than its ok. Btw- etg results are usually given corrected for any apparent dilution.

A member asked:
Urologist. Will urine PH greater than equal to 6.5 lower actual specific gravity? My PH was 7.5 and my SG was 1.015, was the SG lowered in my bladder due to high PH or just dipstick reading. I was neg blood, I know high SG causes false neg for blood?
