Aldosterone is a hormone that regulates salt and water balance in the body, increasing the reabsorption of sodium and increasing the excretion of potassium. When the synthesis of aldosterone decreases, there is a decrease in sodium reabsorption, leading to a decrease in blood pressure. This drug would not cause hypernatremia (high sodium levels) or hypokalemia (low potassium levels).
