A 31-year-old male asked:
How does the kidney normally concentrate urine?

Dr. Donald Colantinoanswered
Internal Medicine 61 years experience
Kidney function: The kidney concentrates urine by regulating the amount of fluid circulating through it. It either absorbs water or lets it pass through depending on the circulating volume of blood or plasma going through it. It also excretes waste products. The process is quite complicated.
