Concentrated urine forms because ADH is present which absorbs water. As tubular fluid flows down the descending convulated tubule, the water osmotic decreases. As it flows through the ascending tubule the water osmotic increases, becasue water is impermeable in ther ascedning Loop of Henle, so while Na and K are being taken out, water is not. There is also a counter current flow that happens in the LOH.

Does ADH favor the formation of dilute or concentrated urine?
ADH causes an increase in water reabsorption in the kidneys. Thus, by absorbing more water, the urine becomes MORE concentrated (more compounds in less water = more concentrated)

Water loading result in the production of concentrated or dilute urine?
-Increase water intake, or water loading, will result in dilute urine in person not diagnosed with any kidney condition. This will happen because of an incease in water being absorbed in the bloodstream which will then become part of the plasma.This event will lead to an increase in blood volume. The increase blood volume will further lead to an increase in glomerular filtration rate in kidney which will lead result in excess formation of urine which is dilute in nature.
