What regulates urine osmolarity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is NOT regulated: Urine is composed of everything you DON'T need to stay healthy. It's determined by everything else, and is itself not regulated at all. Drink more water and eat less salt -- your urine will be dilute. Drink less water, sweat out your body water stores on a hot day, eat a lot of salt -- your urine will be concentrated.
