Comparison between urinary density (UD) and osmolality (U osm ) classification of low and high concentration ability

UD criteria Osmolality criteria
All patients Low (<350mOsm/kg) Normal (350-600mOsm/kg) High (>600mOsm/kg)
Low UD (≤1.010 kg/L) 71 27 20

Bold numbers show agreement between UD and Uosm.

AKI, acute kidney injury; CKD, chronic kidney disease.
