Simplify Derivative with Substitution

I try to evaluate:
$$ frac{partial}{partial x} log{u(x, y, z)}$$
Mathematica gives:
$$ frac{1}{x+y+z}$$
I want to simplify the expression with my function:
$$ frac{1}{u(x, y, z)}$$
How to do that?
Thanks.

D[Log[u[x, y, z]], x] /. u[x_, y_, z_] :> Defer[u[x, y, z]]

An alternative is to define UpValues instead of DownValues of u:
Derivative[1, 0, 0][u] ^:= 1&
Derivative[0, 1, 0][u] ^:= 1&
Derivative[0, 0, 1][u] ^:= 1&
D[Log[u[x, y, z]], x]
1/u[x, y, z]

What are UpValues and DownValues? The definition in the doc seems recursive:UpValue"gives a list of transformation rules corresponding to all upvalues defined for the symbol f. "
