ADH and Aldosterone
adh and aldosterone both aid in stress response by maintaining the blood pressure. during stress the blood pressure increases. they both help bring it back to normal.
What is the normal range?
Excess aldosterone secretion can lead to dehydration indirectly. Aldosterone promotes the reabsorption of sodium in the kidneys, which in turn increases water retention. However, if there is an excessive loss of potassium and an imbalance in electrolytes, it can disrupt normal fluid balance and potentially lead to dehydration. Additionally, conditions associated with excess aldosterone, such as primary hyperaldosteronism, can result in increased urine output, further contributing to dehydration.
Aldosterone will cause Na+ to be absorbed from a filtrate
Aldosterone promotes water retention and reduces urine volume
The normal range is
Yes. Aldosterone tells the kidneys to absorb sodium and secrete potassium. If the level or function is low high potassium can be a problem.
It decreases the affect of aldosterone secretion.
Normal range is 6.0-7.0.
Aldosterone is primarily regulated by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. To increase aldosterone levels, factors that can stimulate its production include low blood pressure, low blood volume, high potassium levels, and high Angiotensin II levels. These conditions can trigger the release of aldosterone from the adrenal glands.
Aldosterone is a hormone, so it gets to the kidneys via the blood stream.
