Spanish term

DU

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
This relates to a patient's urine tests, text is as follows: "Orina normales sedimento: DU; 1015ph, CC 10mg/dl."
Not sure what DU stands for in this context..
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): abe(L)solano

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Urine density/urine specific gravity

Sin embargo el ph en 5 y la densidad urinaria en 1015, es totalmente normal siendo el rango normal de densidad de 1010-1030, y de ph de 4.6 a 8.0, puede variar un poco dependiendo de la literatura. En caso de presentar síntomas urinarios es importante que acuda al médico para una valoración e iniciar el tratamiento adecuado.

Urine specific gravity is a laboratory test that shows the concentration of all chemical particles in the urine.

Urine density above 1.010 and even above 1.030 usually indicates that the kidney has retained its ability to concentrate urine. A density below 1.003 may indicate renal problems, but also excessive water consumption.

URINE DENSITY

Urine Density = densidad de la orina
Urinary Density= densidad urinaria

I think both mean the same, but the first is the most adequate. Labs use urine density to express the results.

A possible translation could be:
sedimentos normales en la Orina : Densidad 1015 cc, ph 5, CC 10mg/dl.

Note: Creatinine clearance (CC)
