What hormone causes sodium to be lost in the urine along with water and helps to lower blood pressure?

A hormone called atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is secreted by the heart in response to a rise in blood pressure and fluctuating sodium-water balances. The result of it's actions (that are a bit tricky but I can elaborate if you require) are that blood pressure is decreased by allowing sodium and water to leave the body via the urine.

Why does taking a steroid hormone make you retain water?
A steroid hormone has a side effect of having mineralcorticoid activity. Specifically, it exerts similar effects to that of aldosterone. What aldosterone does is increase the amount of sodium that's reabsorbed by your kidney. With sodium, water comes along as well, hence the water retention from a steroid hormone.
What causes pressure in ears above eyebrow along with a stiff neck?
You do
How does kidney help regulate blood pressure?
Angiotensin receptors and regulation of fluid balance in the body along with sodium retention.
Will a bad manifold pressure sensor cause vehicle not to run?
It could, along with many others causes.
What causes lithospheric plates to build up pressure and finally give along transfrom faults?
convection
Main intracellular ion maintains icf osmotic pressure?
Potassium is the major intracellular ion, not sodium as was previously answered. Sodium is the major extracellular ion (along with chloride, and smaller amounts of potassium and bicarbonate)
Will baking soda slow arthritis progression?
No, but it will give you a worse problem to think about. Baking soda will cause your intake of sodium to increase and your blood pressure along with it.
What is a hormone that prevents the loss of sodium ions?
Aldosterone. Aldosterone acts on the Na+/K+ ATPase pump in the Distal Proximal Tube/Collecting duct in the kidney. Importantly, when this pump action is up-regulated, Na+ re-absorption goes up along with WATER, which is recovered with the sodium ions.
What causes lithospheric plates to build up pressure and finally give along transform faults?
Convection from the inner layers of the earth
What pushes electricity through the wire?
Difference of potential (voltage) causes current to flow as long as there is a complete path (circuit) for it to flow along. Voltage can be thought of as electrical pressure along the same lines as water pressure. If there is a competed path the electrical 'pressure'will push the electrons from the higher potention (pressure) to the lower potential (pressure).
What super food helps lower your blood pressure?
Low sodium foods are the best for lowering blood pressure. Fruits and vegetables are very healthy options for healthy eating along with leans meats and organic foods.
What are the functions of sodium in the body?
sodium along with potassium maintains the electrolyte balance in our body
