When the level of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) decreases, what happens to urine osmolarity?

When the level of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) decreases, urine osmolarity decreases. ADH plays a crucial role in regulating the body's water balance. When ADH levels are high, it causes the kidneys to reabsorb more water from the urine, resulting in urine that is concentrated and has higher osmolarity.

Conversely, when ADH levels decrease, the kidneys reabsorb less water. This leads to a greater volume of diluted urine, as more water remains in the urine rather than being reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. As a result, the osmolarity of the urine decreases, making it less concentrated. This physiological response helps the body adjust its fluid balance according to hydration levels and the body's needs.
