Abstract: Objective To investigate the correlation between urine conductivity and urine freezing-point osmotic pressure determined by UF-1000i urine analyzer.  Methods (1)The conductivity levels of urine samples of 1 064 healthy subjects were determined. The reference range of urine conductivity in healthy subjects was obtained.(2)A total of 137 random samples were determined for the urine conductivity by UF-1000i and classified into normal group and normal reference range exceeding group,and the urine freezing-point osmotic pressure was determined by Model 3300 Micro-Osmometer. The results of correlation were analyzed.  Results (1)The reference range of urine conductivity was 5.56-30.29 ms/cm.(2)The conductivity of normal reference range group was correlated to the osmotic pressure(r=0.942). The linear regression equation of osmotic pressure against conductivity was Y=34.18X-42.29. The conductivity of normal reference range exceeding group was correlated to the osmotic pressure(r=0.979).The linear regression equation of osmotic pressure against conductivity was Y=32.34X+4.12.  Conclusions It is more convenient to determine the urine conductivity by UF-1000i together with routine urinary examination in daily work than testing the urine osmotic pressure,which is beneficial for estimating renal concentration and dilution function properly.
