What Does a High Urine Conductivity Mean?
High urine conductivity in a routine urine test usually indicates an increase in urine conductivity. The increase in urine conductivity may be related to an increase in ions in the urine, which is often caused by factors such as inadequate water intake, glomerulonephritis, systemic lupus erythematosus nephropathy, etc.
Inadequate water intake: When a patient reduces their water intake, the urine concentration increases, leading to an increase in ions in the urine, which then increases urine conductivity. Drinking more water in daily life to promote urine metabolism can gradually alleviate the symptoms.
Glomerulonephritis: It is mainly caused by factors such as bacterial infection. During urine testing, bacteria infected in the patient's body can be detected, leading to high urine conductivity in the urine test, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as urgent urination and frequent urination. Levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets, metronidazole tablets, and penicillin V potassium tablets can be taken under a doctor's guidance.
Systemic lupus erythematosus nephropathy: The main reason is the long-term burden of systemic lupus erythematosus on the kidneys, which can lead to kidney pain, proteinuria, and other symptoms. Kidney problems are usually detected in urine tests, leading to high urine conductivity in routine urine tests. Cyclophosphamide tablets, tacrolimus capsules, and prednisolone acetate tablets can be taken as recommended by a doctor. It may also be caused by renal tubular diseases.
In daily life, attention should be paid to a light diet, with a focus on low-salt and low-fat foods, eating more vegetables and fruits, and maintaining a good mindset, which is beneficial to health.
