Study Notes

ADH influences non-urine concentration and volume.
Dilute urine is produced when there is too much water in the urine.
Filtrate at the top of the ascending limb is dilute due to salt removal.
In the absence of ADH, collecting ducts remain impermeable to water and dilute urine is produced.
ADH acts like collecting ducts and increases water channels in principal cells to make concentrated urine.
Facultative water reabsorption is regulated and variable based on body needs.
Diuretics are substances that enhance urinary output and include alcohol, caffeine, and diuretic drugs.
Renal clearance is the volume of plasma from which a substance is 100% cleared per unit time.
Urine is 95% water and 5% solutes, with the highest concentration being urea.
Renal failure can be caused by kidney infection, physical injury, prolonged pressure of skeletal muscle, or inadequate blood delivery to tubules, and treatment options include dialysis.
