International audienceThe ability to produce hyperosmotic urine allows mammals, including humans, to excrete their soluble mineral and organic waste products in the urine with a limited amount of water. The urinary concentrating capacity depends primarily on a special “loop-shaped” architecture of the nephrons and vessels, observed only in mammals. It also depends on the influence of antidiuretic hormone on the permeability to water of the collecting ducts on their entire length, and on the permeability to urea limited to the terminal portion of these ducts in the inner medulla. The ability to concentrate urine also requires (1) an “engine” able to produce an active (energy demanding) transport that generates a transepithelial concentration...
