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 does Specific gravity of urine?

Specific gravity of urine measures the concentration of solutes in urine, indicating its density compared to water. It typically ranges from 1.005 to 1.030 in healthy individuals, reflecting hydration status and kidney function. Higher values suggest concentrated urine, often due to dehydration or other conditions, while lower values may indicate dilute urine, which can occur in overhydration or certain kidney disorders. Monitoring specific gravity can help assess overall health and fluid balance.


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 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


Neurohypophyseal secretion of stimulates formation of concentrated urine?

The neurohypophyseal secretion of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to the formation of concentrated urine. ADH acts on the collecting ducts of the nephrons in the kidneys to increase their permeability to water, allowing the body to conserve water and produce concentrated urine.


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 does c mean on urine a urine test?

The 'c' on a urine test typically refers to the concentration of the urine sample. This concentration is measured to assess the urine's specific gravity or how dilute or concentrated it is. It can indicate hydration levels or certain medical conditions.


What condition favor kidney stones?

Prolonged high specific gravity, which is the measure of concentrated urine. A condition that causes this is prolonged dehydration.


What happens to the urine in case there is excess water in your body fluids?

When there is excess water in your body fluids, your kidneys will produce more dilute urine to help get rid of the excess water. This results in a higher volume of urine that is more clear and less concentrated.


Can your urine be dilute first thing in the morning?

Yes, urine can appear more diluted first thing in the morning due to higher water intake overnight and potentially longer time between urinations. It is normal for urine to be more concentrated later in the day.
