Diabetes can alter the density of urine, so urine density can be used as a diagnostic tool. People with diabetes may excrete too much sugar or too much water. What do you predict will happen to the density of urine under each of these conditions? (Hint: Water containing dissolved sugar has a high density than pure water.)

  1. Sugar increases density of water when excreted in higher amounts, and excreting too much water would cause the urine to dilute and the density would be closer to that of pure water.

    Do not forget, urine has salts and other compounds in it therefore it will never be 'less dense' than water. Good luck!!
