LOINC display name : Zimnitsky urine concentration panel (U);
LOINC long common name : Zimnitsky urine concentration panel - Urine;
LOINC short name : Zimnitsky Pnl Ur;
LOINC description : The Zimnitsky urine test is performed to evaluate the kidney's ability to concentrate
and dilute urine. In this test, urine samples are collection every 3 hours for a continuous
24 hours, and the volume and specific gravity for each sample are determined. The
pattern of the combination of urine volume and specific gravity can help diagnose
various conditions such as chronic renal failure (persistent low specific gravity),
diabetes insipidus (persistent low specific gravity and polyuria), diabetes mellitus
(high specific gravity and polyuria), and acute glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome
(high specific gravity and oliguria). [http://repo.knmu.edu.ua/bitstream/123456789/16311/1/Topic_21_urine2017.pdf];
