ADH (antidiuretic hormone or vasopressin) is a hormone that up-regulates the amount of aquaporins into the luminal membrane in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidneys, this is the eonly part of the tubule that water reaborption is under physiological control. Without this hormone, there are no aquaporins located at this section of the nepheron. Because the fluid is ascending from the loop of Henle (in the medulla), the concentration of ions is decreasing due to the presence of leak channels. As the fluid continues to decrease its concentration of ions due to reabsorption, the water will follow in order to conserve a consistent osmilarity which is regulated by the isotonic fluid in the cortex. This will conserve the amount of water in the body.

Stimulates retention of water by kidneys?
Antidiuretic hormone
What Hormone stimulates the kidneys to absorb more water?
The hormone that promotes reabsorption by the kideny is Vasopressin
Hormones stimulating water conservation in the kidneys?
Antidiuretic hormone i think.. - depending on how much is released controls how much water is excreeted(:
What hormones is also called the antidiuretic hormone?
It stimulates water reabsorption by the kidneys
What hormone stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb more water?
ADH- when the body is dehydrated, ADH helps reduce more water loss
State the function of the hormones ADH?
Anti-Diurtetic Hormone is a hormone used by your kidneys and determines how much water your body retains or excretes. It is made in the hypothalamus (homeostasis control center of sorts) and this hormone directly effects blood pressure and body water composition
Which hormone signals the kidneys to reabsorb water back into the bloodstream?
The antidiruretic hormone signals to the kidneys to reabsorb water back into the bloodstream.
Which hormone causes the kidneys to conserve water?
ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone)The brain and kidneys regulate the amount of water excreted by the body. When the blood volume is low, the concentration of solutes in the blood is high. When the hypothalamus senses this low blood volume and increased serum osmolality it synthesizes ADH, a small peptide molecule. The pituitary gland then releases ADH into the bloodstream and causes the kidneys to retain water by concentrating the urine and reducing urine volume. Water retention boosts blood volume and decreases serum osmolality.
What tells the kidneys how much water to absorb?
Antidiuretic hormone ADH
What hormone is necessary for water to be reabsorbed in the kidney?
Anti-diuretic hormone (or ADH) is released by the pituitary gland to encourage the kidneys to reabsorb water.
How do kidneys help maintain water balance on a hot day?
The antidiuretic hormone is produced and the kidneys take blood and waste and get water to maintain the balance.
Is Antidiuretic hormone secreted by the kidneys?
ADH causes the kidneys to hold onto more water.
