What does aldostrone cause?
Aldosterone is a hormone that increases the reabsorption of sodium ions and water and the release (secretion) of potassium ions in the distal convoluted tubules of the kidneys. This increases blood volume and, therefore, increases blood pressure. Drugs that interfere with the secretion or action of aldosterone are in use as antihypertensives.
