The loop of Henle
Why is urine output decreased during hypovolemic shock?
If the kidneys are getting enough blood to function well they concentrate the urine in an effort to correct the low blood volume. In more severe cases they cannot make much urine because they are not getting enough blood flow.
Is it harmful to boil urine?
It might not be a good idea. It depends on what is in the urine. It usually has water, glucose, urea and salts. It could have abnormal proteins and other substances which, when boiled, will produce a harmful vapor.

What measures th kidney's ability to concentrate of dilute urine in relation to plasma?
It is urine's specific gravity that measures the kidney's ability to concentrate or dilute urine in relation to plasma.
A urine test that compares the weight of urine to that of distilled water is?
Specific gravity (SG) is a measurement of the kidneys' ability to concentrate urine. The test compares the density of urine against the density of distilled water, which has an SG of 1.000. Because urine is a solution of minerals, salts, and compounds dissolved in water, the SG is a measure of the density of the dissolved chemicals in the specimen. As a measurement of specimen density, SG is influenced by both the number of particles present and the size of the particles. Osmolality is a more exact measurement and may be needed in certain circumstances. The range of urine SG depends on the state of hydration and varies with urine volume and the load of solids to be excreted under standardized conditions; when fluid intake is restricted or increased, SG measures the concentrating and diluting functions of the kidney. Loss of these functions is an indication of renal dysfunction. http://faculty.washington.edu/alexbert/MEDEX/Spring/TS3UA.htm
