Furosemide is a common diuretic drug given to lower the blood pressure by lowering volume. It does this by stimulating the kidneys to reabsorb less water and so uncreasing the urine output. The result is greater volume more dilute urine.

What chemical increases the urine output?

Several: ethyl alcohol AKA ethanol (C2H5OH) does a good job. Many diuretic drugs e.g. lasix (furosemide, formerly known as frusemide) do the same job. Also caffeine, dandelion leaves and cranberries among many other natural diuretics will have some effect as will simply drinking more water.

What is the mechanism of urine formation?

The mechanism of urine formation takes place by three steps. they are glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion.


If a tumor of the glucocorticoid-secreting cells of the adrenal cortex crowds out the cells that produce aldosterone what is the likely effect on urine composition and volume?

The tumor would cause increased secretion of glucocorticoids and decreased aldosterone production, leading to increased sodium and water retention in the kidneys. This would result in increased urine volume and decreased urine concentration, leading to dilute urine with low sodium levels.


What hormone aldosterone or ADH has the greater effect on urine volume?

ADH decides the volume.Aldestorone involve in maintaining blood pressure.


What does furosemide do for dogs and how does it help in their treatment?

Furosemide is a diuretic medication commonly used in dogs to help reduce excess fluid in the body by increasing urine production. This can be beneficial in treating conditions such as congestive heart failure, kidney disease, and certain types of edema. By promoting the removal of excess fluid, furosemide helps to alleviate symptoms and improve the overall health of the dog.


What effect does salt intake have upon urine salt concentration and volume?

The renal system (kidneys) is the main regulator of both blood volume and blood salt concentration, but the two factors are regulated somewhat independently of each other as both the volume of urine produced and it's salt concentration vary with their own hormone system.

How does heat effect urine?

Urine doesn't create or excrete heat. It dissipates heat and it would be the value of the temperature and the volume of the urine probably expressed in "calories" of heat energy. For humans the urine exits the body at about 99 degrees, but the volume would be a variable.


Is there a higher volume of urine when dehydrated?

No, when dehydrated, the volume of urine typically decreases. The body conserves water to maintain hydration, leading to more concentrated urine. In contrast, when well-hydrated, the body produces a larger volume of diluted urine.


How does the volume of urine differ from the measured baseline volume?

The volume of urine refers to the total amount of urine produced by the body, while the baseline volume refers to the average amount of urine produced over a specific timeframe. Differences in volume can occur due to factors such as hydration status, medications, and underlying health conditions.
