Brief description of study
What is the purpose of this study?
The purpose of this study is to determine if urine color can be used to determine urine concentration and hydration status. We will test methodology that can be easily performed by families to monitor hydration status which is an important health consideration. Our primary objective is to determine how accurately urine color measures hydration compared to urine osmolality. The hypothesis is that urine color will accurately measure hydration status in children.The purpose of this study is to find out if urine color is an accurate indicator of hydration in children.
THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Potential research participants will initially be identified from nephrology and urology patient lists and will be recruited during clinic appointment by study team about study participation.
Detailed description of study
What will happen during the study?
Researchers will use leftover urine from any sample provided to participants' doctor, or request an additional sample if no leftover is available. Participants will fill out 2 forms estimating urine color and level of hydration.
Study involves a one time visit:
1) consent/assent obtained
2)patient will provide a urine sample (clean catch, random) or left over urine from a sample already provided will be used.
3) the patient will complete a Visual Analog Scale for thirst
4)the patient will circle the color on a Urine Armstrong Scale that most closely matches the color of their urine Study Staff
