Calcium reabsorption by the kidneys is promoted by the hormone?

Parathyroid hormone not only increases the re-absorption of calcium from the kidney but it also helps absorption in the intestines by increasing the production of vitamin D activation which also occurs in the kidney.

What Hormone stimulates the kidneys to absorb more water?
The hormone that promotes reabsorption by the kideny is Vasopressin
What is the function of parathyroid hormone?
PTH is secreted by the parathyroid glands (which are attached to your thyroid) and acts on bone (via increased bone resorption) , the kidneys (via increased reabsorption of calcium) and the intestine (increased calcium absorption by increased levels of activated vitamin D) to increase blood calcium levels.
What is adh?
ADH is an abbreviation for the medical term "Antidiuretic Hormone". ADH is a hormone that is released from the posterior pituitary gland that increases water reabsorption in the kidneys, resulting in decreased urinary output.
When the kidneys return salts and water to the blood it is called?
Reabsorption via a process called "secretion".
What hormone does the parathyroid release?
The parathyroid gland secretes the hormone parathormoneor parathyroid hormone (PTH).The function of PTH is to increase the concentration of calcium in the blood. It does this in three ways:increasing the release of calcium from the bonesincreasing the reabsorption of calcium from the kidney tubulesincreasing the absorption of calcium from the intestinePTH is a polypeptide hormone, made up of 84 amino acids.See the related link for more information.It is called PTH, or parathyroid hormone. It is part of the endocrine glands and to look this up i'd suggest a physiology book
What are the functions of parathormone?
It stimulates the reabsorption of calcium, the conservation of calcium by the kidneys, the reabsorption of phosphates.

What is facultative water reabsorption?
facultative water reabsorption is the reabsorption of water in the kidneys that is under the hormonal control of ADH (anti diuretic hormone) The amount of water reabsorbed is dependant on how much the body needs to reabsorb to maintain homeostasis and fluid balance.
What is adh?
ADH is an abbreviation for the medical term "Antidiuretic Hormone". ADH is a hormone that is released from the posterior pituitary gland that increases water reabsorption in the kidneys, resulting in decreased urinary output.
Explain why reabsorption of certain materials in the kidneys is important to your health?

When the kidneys return salts and water to the blood it is called?
Reabsorption via a process called "secretion".
What is the function of nethiazide?
It's a thiazide diuretic. Thiazides block the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions in the kidneys (and also increase reabsorption of calcium ions) to result in increases in urinary output. They are used primarily to counter hypertension and edema.
What is a parathyroid gland and what effect will this have on renal tubule function?
Parathyroid Hormone promotes calcium absorption from your kidneys and promotes phosphate excretion from the kidneys. Increasing parathyrodid hormone > increased calcium and decreased phosphateWHAT

A patient is diagnosed with thyroid cancer later had her thyroid gland removed explain why this person was prescibed calcium and hormone supplementation?
Because they Thyroid makes its own natural hormones. When it was removed the body needed a new place for the hormones to come from.Actually, the thyroid itself has little to do with calcium. so the answer is only partially correct. Embedded in the thyroid tissue there are 4 little glands, the parathyroids. These produce a hormone called parathyroid hormone or PTH. PTH stimulates calcium absorption in the instestine, calcium reabsorption in the kidneys and liberates calcium from the bones. Hence the need for the calcium supplement.The thyroid gland produces many hormones that are necessary for normal body function. When the gland is removed (a thyroidectomy) the deficiency of these hormones results in hypothyroidism without external treatment - hormone therapy. Calcium (and vitamin D) are necessary to prevent hypocalcemia secondary to hypoparathyroidism, that is, a low level of of calcium in the blood (very serious) due to insuffient parathyroid hormone levels (parathyroid hormone functions to increase blood levels of calcium).
