The specific gravity of the urine changes with the variationsin the quantity of urinary water, rising to 1035, even 1040, when theamount of urine discharged is very small. If, fromany cause, there is a considerable increase in thequantity of urine, the specific gravity falls corre-spondingly, and below the normal. Albumen is al-ways present, but not in very great quantity, andfluctuates in amount with the variations in the spe-cific gravity. The same fact is true of urea, which,while constantly and absolutely below the normal, fig. 85.—Ca
