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?
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.
The main site of aldosterone synthesis is in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone production is regulated by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which responds to changes in blood pressure and electrolyte balance.
