If sodium reabsorption increases, water reabsorption increases as well.
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.
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?
