The activity of the kidneys is controlled by hormones which have been released by a gland in the brain and by the composition of the blood.
The kidney, better yet, a kidney nephron has three main functions: ultrafiltration, in which contents of the blood are filtered according to their size (Bowman's Capsule); reabsorption, in which needed substances (water, glucose, amino acids, some salts; unneeded: urea, uric acid, some salts) diffuse (by active transport) into the venule end of a capillary bed (renal tubules and, partially, Henle's Loop as well as the collecting duct); osmoregulation, in which ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is released by the pituitary gland in the brain (renal tubules and, partially, Henle's Loop as well as the collecting duct).
The kidney has more than one activity, so several things perform the activities.

Nearly every process in the human organism is kept in balance by the intricate interaction of different nervous and endocrine regulatory chemicals.The endocrine system operates with the nervous system to finely adjust the many processes they regulate.Endocrine regulation begins in the womb. Many hormones are active from gestational period. Evidence that a hormonal signal from fetus to mother signals the onset of labor.Hormones related to reproduction begin at puberty.Secretion of male reproductive hormones-continuous production from puberty, slight decline in late adulthood.Secretion of female reproductive hormones declines suddenly and completely in middle adulthood.

How is the secretory activity of the adenohypophysis controlled?
Two of the hormones that are released are Growth hormones, and melanocyte-stimulating hormones.
What is the activity of kidneys controlled by?
kind if a vague q? my answer.... hormones and blood content for example: when your dehydrated and your blood is lacking H2O your kidneys retain water....darker pee when you drink alcoholic beverages it decreases amount of ADH hormone released....hence you pee more often. This is why you wake up dehydrated the next day. So even though your body needs the water its peeing out the lack of ADH prevent you from keeping it.
What are controlled by hormones?
There are many functions controlled by hormones. Hormones regulate many processes in the body like blood pressure, blood glucose levels, growth and development, and excretion by the kidneys. These are just some of the many processes and systems that the body regulates through hormones. Hormones are usually found as peptides or steroids and act through an intercellular second messenger system.
