Water is lost from the body primarily via respiration,sweating and urinating.......diarrhea also. The body regulates its loss of water via 'checks and balances'(kidneys and pores). So when sweating is heavy ( hot conditions) one urinates less and the reverse takes place when the time is cold with urinating on the increase. Remember that excessive water loss leads to dehydration which can be fatal.

What is the medical term meaning increased urine production?
Depends on the person but usually 1.5 litres
What will alcohol do to the density of urine?
Alcohol actually affects the brain which in turn, affects urine production. ADH (anti-diuretic hormone)is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus and excreted by the pituitary gland. This hormone makes the kidney absorb the water in the bloodstream. When a person drinks alcohol, the excretion of ADH hormone is decreased. Therefore, the kidney does not absorb the water as it should. Then more urine is made. When more urine is made, it is less dense. Because the ADH hormone is decreased, people can produce too much urine and get dehydrated from drinking too much alcohol.
Does horse radish cause urine to smell?
Yes, horseradish can cause urine to have a distinct odor. This is due to the presence of certain compounds in horseradish that are excreted through urine, similar to how asparagus affects urine smell. The effect varies from person to person, depending on individual metabolism and the amount consumed.
What is the medical term meaning diminished or lack of urine production or secretion?
Diminished or scant urine production is oliguria. Anuria is absent urine production.
Why is pee clear when drinking beer?
Beer is a diuretic, which means it promotes urine production by increasing fluid intake. This dilutes the urine and can make it appear clearer. Additionally, alcohol can inhibit the release of a hormone that affects urine concentration, further contributing to clear urine.
What is anuria?
Anuria means lack of urine production (or extremely low urine production).
How will milk affect your composition of urine?

What causes loss of glucose in the urine?
Insulin affects the concentration of glucose in the urine.
What is the urine pH in a dehydrated person?
In a dehydrated person, the urine pH tends to be more acidic (pH below 7) due to the concentrated nature of the urine and increased reabsorption of bicarbonate in the kidneys. This happens as the body tries to conserve water by producing more concentrated urine.
What effect does the concentration gradient of the interstitial fluid have on the maximum urine concentration?
The concentration gradient of the interstitial fluid affects the osmolarity of the renal medulla. A steeper concentration gradient allows for more concentration of urine by the kidneys, as the gradient drives water reabsorption in the collecting ducts, leading to concentrated urine production.
How would running on a warm day most likely affect urine production?
Running on a warm day would most like decrease a person's urine production. One reason for this would be due to increased sweating, which would reduce the amount of water in someone's body.
