Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is affected by several factors including the health of the kidneys, hydration level, concentration of sodium in the blood and hormones such as ADH...antidiuretic hormone.

An athlete produces large quantities of sweat as a result the kidneys change the rate of urine production?

An athlete produces large quantities of sweat as a result the kidneys change the rate of urine production. This is because decreased urine production increases the amino acids in the blood.


What are three factors that influence the rate of urine production?

Three factors that influence the rate of urine production are hydration levels, blood pressure, and the hormone antidiuretic hormone (ADH) levels. More water intake results in higher urine production, while low blood pressure may decrease urine production. ADH helps the body retain water, so its levels can affect urine output.


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.


How water intake affects urine production?

Water intake directly influences urine production, as increased hydration leads to higher urine output. When the body receives more water, the kidneys filter excess fluid, resulting in more dilute urine. Conversely, reduced water intake causes the kidneys to conserve water, producing less concentrated urine. This regulation helps maintain the body's fluid balance and electrolyte levels.


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).


During a long distance run on a hot day an athlete produces large quantity of sweat As a result the kidney change the rate of urine production Why is this change important?

The change in urine production is important because it helps maintain electrolyte balance by regulating the concentration of ions in the body. Sweating causes loss of fluids and electrolytes, so adjusting urine production helps prevent dehydration and maintain homeostasis.

What causes loss of glucose in the urine?

Insulin affects the concentration of glucose in the urine.


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.


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.
