	As part of a large scale field feeding system test we had
	the unique opportunity to collect and study hundreds of
	overnight urine aliquots which were obtained immediately
	prior to a fasting blood sample on days 1, 20, and 44 of
	the field test. To evaluate the hydrational status of
	test subjects and criteria of hypohydration, urine
	aliquots were categorized by specific gravity or = 1.03
	(n=124) or 1.03 (n=540). Creatinine levels were elevated
	(p.001) in the concentrated urine samples, but a
	decreased trend in Na(+)/K(+) ratios in these samples
	failed to achieve statistical significance (p=0.1).
	However, when individuals with high specific gravity
	urine were further subclassified by a criterion of weight
	loss 3% from original body weight, then creatinine
	concentrations were elevated (p=.05) while Na(+)/K(+)
	ratios were decreased (p=.05) when compared with levels
	in subjects also with high specific gravity but weight
	loss 3%. Serum urea nitrogen/creatinine ratios were
	significantly increased (days 1 and 44, p=.02) in test
	subjects whose urine samples exceeded 1.03 in specific
	gravity. The results of this study indicated that
	prodromal hypohydration, indicated by concomitant
	elevations in urinary specific gravity and creatinine,
	was not reflected in the common indices of circulatory
	hypohydration- hematocrit and osmolality. Alternatively,
	urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio may be a sensitive
	circulatory index of imminent hypohydration.
