Hello, why is the concentration of ethanol in a urine sample greater than that of a corresponding blood sample?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Concentration by: kidney: Alcohol gets filtered and the filtrate is concentrated by the kidney to conserve water salt and some proteins. The process of concentrating the filtrated in the glomerulus would concentrate alcohol.
