ADH causes an increase in water reabsorption in the kidneys. Thus, by absorbing more water, the urine becomes MORE concentrated (more compounds in less water = more concentrated)

What is osmorgulation?
Osmoregulation is the regulation of water and solute levels in the body.If the blood becomes too dilute blood cells would absorb too much water (by osmosis) and could swell up and burst. If the blood becomes too concentrated the cells could lose water (by osmosis) and shrivel up.In humans the main organs of osmoregulation are the kidneys.If you drink too much liquid your kidneys respond by increasing the amount of urine which you produce, to remove the excess. The urine is also more dilute than normal.If you lose too much water, for example through excessive sweating, the kidneys respond by producing a smaller amount of more concentrated urine to save water.Seehttp://www.mhhe.com/biosci/esp/2001_gbio/folder_structure/an/m9/s1/index.htmhttp://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/sciences/Zoology/AnimalPhysiology/Osmoregulation/Osmoregulation.htmhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmoregulation
What are normal results for urine specific gravity?
The specific gravity can be an excellent source of information on hydration. This is an elevated result indicative of concentrated urine associated with dehydration. A normal specific gravity ranges from 1.010 to 1.020. normal range of S.G. in urine is 1.003 to 1.030.
What is the right urine temp for home pregnancy test?
You want to urinate directly on the pregnancy test strip. If you are using urine that has been sitting for a while, it isn't the temperature to be concerned about, as much as the length of time it has been sitting there. The amount of hCG concentrated in the urine decreases as it sits. So it is best to use fresh urine every time.
Urine specific gravity of 1.012 is dilute or concentrated?
Dilute
Neurohypophyseal secretion of stimulates formation of concentrated urine?
Neurohypophyseal secretion of antidiuretic hormone or ADH stimulates the formation of concentrated urine. This hormone is also known as argipressin.
What hormone that decides dilute or concentrated urine will be formed?
aldosterone is the hormone that decides this
Why is the first urine of the day most concentrated?
The color of urine is determined on how concentrated the urine is. It's from all of the toxins being excreted. In the morning it's a fasting urine and you haven't drank fluids all night. So it's concentrated and dark yellow. During the day, you drink and dilute the urine so there more water in the urine, less concentrated and lighter in color
Type of urine excreted when the water content of the body is low?
Concentrated, the more excess water is present in the body the more dilute the urine becomes.
Water loading result in the production of concentrated or dilute urine?
-Increase water intake, or water loading, will result in dilute urine in person not diagnosed with any kidney condition. This will happen because of an incease in water being absorbed in the bloodstream which will then become part of the plasma.This event will lead to an increase in blood volume. The increase blood volume will further lead to an increase in glomerular filtration rate in kidney which will lead result in excess formation of urine which is dilute in nature.
Is normal daytime urine output dilute or concentrated?
since your bodies goal is homeostasis the more fluids in, the more out. Certainly metabolic rates and diet can have an effect, but generally speaking your body produces more dilute urine during daytime.
Why is urine yellow Why is urine clear Which is better?
Urine is yellow due to the presence of a pigment called urobilin. When urine is dilute,its colour becomes light due to the abundance of water. Dark yellow urine shows that the urine is concentrated which is because of dehydration.
What condition favor kidney stones?
Prolonged high specific gravity, which is the measure of concentrated urine. A condition that causes this is prolonged dehydration.
Will a womans dilute a mans urine?
Will a woman's what dilute a mans urine?A woman's urine?Not really, they are essentially the same aside from a slight variance in hormones.
Will warming up urine dilute it?
no
What is the Substance that increases urine of untreated diabetic?
Glucose is high in the urine of an untreated diabetic. Glucose itself makes the urine hyperosmolar (concentrated with solutes), which in turn makes it absorb extra water from surrounding tissues, which creates extra, dilute urine. This in turn dehydrates the surrounding tissues making the patient thirsty.
