Aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone act to increase urinary ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aldosterone promotes reabsorption of sodium ions from the renal tubules, which in turn promotes the retention of water by osmosis. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) increases water reabsorption in the kidneys, resulting in decreased urine output and water conservation. Therefore, both hormones act to increase water conservation, not water excretion. Sodium elimination or iron metabolism are not directly affected by aldosterone or ADH.
