Blood fluid osmolarity.

concentrated urine.

Explanation:

If there is an increase in the osmolarity of blood fluid, there will be an increase in the production of ADH. Similarly, if there is a decrease in the osmolarity of blood fluid, there will be a decrease in the production of ADH. The presence of ADH in the blood stream will favor the creation of concentrated urine. However, if ADH is absent in the blood stream, there won't be any discrepancy in the concentration of urine.
