A member asked:
Why does in acute glomerulonephritis , specific gravity &urine osmolality increase ?shouldn't kidneys loss the ability to concentrate the urine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leakage of protein,,: This is likely due to the fact that there is failure of the basement membrane to contain large molecules like proteins, etc.. Also in some cases, oliguria can occur, which means anything in the urine can get concentrated even more than it should be. Proteinuria can be almost 3 g/day.
