how would dehydration affect the specific gravity of urine?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the urine is concentrated so gravity is high.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how could the urine become concentrated?is there related to inhibit of renin-aldostrone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

concentration of urine should be based on a urine test looking for the "specific gravity"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in case of dehydration your body would concentrate the urine so the gravity is high..

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

Dehydration would inhibit renin-aldosterone system and activate the ADH system, leading to formation of more concentrated urine. So the specific gravity would increase. @miss_AJ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the function of ADH system in the formation of urine?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

Antidiuretic hormone, also known commonly as arginine vasopressin, is a ... A diuretic is an agent that increases the rate of urine formation. @miss_AJ
