Aldosterone is a hormone released by the adrenal glands in response to low blood pressure or low blood sodium levels. It increases the reabsorption of sodium ions in the kidneys and the secretion of potassium ions, helping to maintain the balance of electrolytes in the body. A, C, and D have different functions related to fluid and electrolyte balance, but do not increase reabsorption of sodium ions and secretion of potassium ions like aldosterone does.
