How would hypertonic urine be produced from an isotonic blood plasma?

# Water is reabsorbed all along the nephron. # Urine becomes hypertonic (salty) because of the loop of Henle and the collecting duct. # Loop of Henle # The descending limb of the loop of Henle can't absorb salt, and the ascending limb can't absorb water. # Salt passively diffuses out of the lower portion of the ascending limb. # The upper part of ascending limb actively transports salt into tissue of the renal medulla. # Increase in salt in the direction of the inner medulla. # Urea leaks from the lower portion of collecting duct and contributes to a high solute (salt) concentration. # Water leaves descending limb of the loop of Henle, returning to the blood. # Urine is hypertonic to blood.
