What is the steroid hormone that regulates the absorption of ions by the kidneys thereby regulating blood pressure?

Aldosterone is a major regulator of sodium handling by the kidney, and sodium reabsorption is a major determinant of blood pressure. Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced by the cortex (outer portion) of the adrenal gland. It is in a class of steroids called mineralocorticoids, where "mineralo-" refers to the fact that these steroids act on mineral handling (eg, sodium handling), "-cortico-" refers to the fact that they're produced by the adrenal cortex, and "-coid" refers to the fact that they're steroid molecules.
