Isosthenuria refers to the excretion of urine whose specific gravity (concentration) is neither greater (more concentrated) nor less (more dilute) than that of protein-free plasma, typically 1.008-1.012. Isothenuria reflects renal tubular damage/failure of renal medullary function. A closely related term is hyposthenuria, where the urine has a rel...
