Does increased osmotic pressure increase or decrease urine output?

When osmotic pressure increases, changes in urine volume are not simply characterized by an increase or decrease alone, but rather depend on the specific physiological environment and conditions. 1. Increased osmotic pressure leading to decreased urine output: When the concentration of various substances in plasma rises, they create an osmotic pull on water molecules, making it more difficult for water to enter the glomerulus, thus decreasing urine volume. In addition, elevated osmotic pressure also stimulates the hypothalamus to produce antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which further enhances water reabsorption by the renal tubules, resulting in a further decrease in urine volume. 2. Increased urine output under specific conditions: When the osmotic pressure in the extracellular fluid or within the renal tubules increases, water moves from areas of lower osmolarity to areas of higher osmolarity to maintain osmotic equilibrium, potentially increasing urine volume. This phenomenon is called osmotic diuresis.
