All of these: values are within normal limits and vary day to day and perhaps hour to hour...but changes WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS are of NO IMPORTANCE! Hope this helps! Dr Z

Lab: Less water intake could be reason but needs more labs like serum osmolality and urine osmolality.. But range is within normal limits.
