A member asked:

Isn't it true that kidneys that are failing can't produce a specific gravity of 1.030? and if they are failing it'll stay around 1.010?

True: Specific gravity is the kidney's ability to concentrate urine so as the kidney disease advances the specific gravity falls. In most patients who have end stage renal disease the specific gravity is fixed at 1.010.
