The short answer to a long answer is that GFR is filtration not concentration. When there isn't enough fluid being balanced by the kidneys the urine that does come out will be low on water. This in turn raises everything else by ratio. Specific gravity measures the solutes and because there is low fluid and high solutes, the specific gravity is elevated.
You have no idea how you saved me, the parathyroid secretion with low vitamin D, I answered correctly on my oral revalida. Thank you so so much!
These signs are really important, especially in our busy lives today.
Agree

shouldn't urine specific gravity be LOW as the kidneys fail to concentrate the urine related to low GFR?
