Proper functioning of the human kidney requires considerable active transport of sodium in the kidney tubules. If these active transport mechanisms were to stop completely, how would urine production be affected?

Respuesta :

Answer: A greater than normal volume of iso-osmotic urine should be produced.

Explanation: Sodium is water loving that is sodium helps in water absorption and reabsorption,when there is impairment in the active transport of sodium in the kidney tubules,or if these active transport mechanism is to stop completely,water will not be reabsorbed back into yhe body due to absence of sodium,this will bring about increased water in the urine and as such increased amount of urine production.
