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.
