    Which of the following factors is responsible for the formation of concentrated urine?

    A) Low levels of antidiuretic hormone

    B) Maintaining hyperosmolarity towards inner medullary interstitium in the kidneys.

    C) Secretion of erythropoietin by Juxtaglomerular complex

    D) Hydrostatic pressure during glomerular filtration

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The proximity between loop of henle and well as counter current in them help in maintaining an increasing osmolarity towards the inner medullary interstitium. This mechanism help to maintain a concentration gradient in medullary interstitium so human urine is nearly four times concentrated than initial filtrate formed.
