Figure 2. Relationships among Plasma Vasopressin Concentration, Rate of Water Excretion, and Solute Excretion (Osmolar Clearance).

Figure 2.

Water excretion decreases with increased levels of plasma vasopressin, whereas solute excretion remains relatively constant. This results in concentrated urine at a high vasopressin concentration and dilute urine at a low vasopressin concentration.
