A urine specific gravity by reagent strip is 1.010, but refractometer is 1.034 after radiographic contrast. What explains the discrepancy?
Dipstick specific gravity directly measures all solute mass
Both methods must always match exactly
Refractometer is affected by large solute molecules such as contrast media
pH above 8.0 invalidates the refractometer
