Abstract
The majority of urine specimens, including the “morning specime”, can be shown to be mixtures of dilute and of concentrated urines. The differences in osmolality and the differences in concentration of these urines may be very considerable. The osmolality of a urine specimen after dehydration for 12–14 hours is a poor measure of the ability of the urinary system to elaborate a concentrated urine. If the urine flow rate is kept within the limits of 14 to 75 ml per hour, either by mild dehydration or by the smoking of tobacco, then there is a linear relationship between the water and the solute output in unit time.
