I added the merge tag though I believ that this article may be original research.--Tainter 15:21, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The kidney article covers general renal physiology and may not be appropriate for clinical endpoints like specific gravity. Moreover, if we were to start adding full descriptions of clinical endpoints of renal disease to the kidney article, it would become inanely large. The text in this article isn't very well written, but it most certainly isn't original research. All of the concepts covered in the article can be found in just about any bridge-level text on renal physiology or clinical pathology. I'm going to add this article to my to-do list. It does need some serious cleanup. Jay †Litman 02:12, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup on Specific Gravity

I changed the "Specific Gravity and Disease" section to make it more accurate. I added a baseline and corrected "A specific gravity of > 1.015 is considered hypovolemia" to a more scientifically accurate statement. I think there's more to clean up there. Let me know if anyone has issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PVSpud (talk • contribs) 03:30, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
