During dehydration, the body will initiate steps to retain water.Two of these steps include increasing aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone production.The hypothalamus will respond to dehydration by producing antidiuretic hormone, which will cause the kidney to retain water to help overcome dehydration.Likewise, the adrenal gland will respond to appropriate stimuli to release aldosterone, which will also act to cause retention of both sodium and water.
