What hormone aldosterone or ADH has the greater effect on urine volume?
ADH decides the volume.Aldestorone involve in maintaining blood pressure.
What is the role of aldosterone?
Aldosterone promotes water retention and reduces urine volume
If a tumor of the glucocorticoid-secreting cells of the adrenal cortex crowds out the cells that produce aldosterone what is the likely effect on urine composition and volume?
The tumor would cause increased secretion of glucocorticoids and decreased aldosterone production, leading to increased sodium and water retention in the kidneys. This would result in increased urine volume and decreased urine concentration, leading to dilute urine with low sodium levels.
How does aldosterone modify the chemical composition of urine?
The higher the aldosterone levels, the more sodium that is reclaimed and the more potassium that is lost.
How does Aldosterone influence urine concentration an volume?
Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that regulates sodium and potassium balance in the body. It promotes the reabsorption of sodium in the kidneys, which leads to the retention of water, thereby increasing urine concentration and reducing urine volume. As sodium is reabsorbed, water follows osmotically, resulting in less dilute urine. Additionally, aldosterone helps to excrete potassium, further influencing fluid balance and urine characteristics.
Is urine ash?
Not all urine has ash in it. Sometimes, people's urine will contain ash, and this is said to be an incredible fertilizer, meaning it helps plants grow.
What hormone causes the kidneys to reabsorb sodium and water?
Vasopressin and ANP reduce water loss in urine. I don't remember which hormone reduces sodium loss in urine.
What hormone that decides dilute or concentrated urine will be formed?
aldosterone is the hormone that decides this
Does Both ADH and aldosterone tend to reduce the amount of urine produced?
yes
How does aldosterone affect the concentration of potassium in urine?
Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that promotes sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion in the kidneys. When aldosterone levels are elevated, it stimulates the renal tubular cells to increase the secretion of potassium into the urine, leading to a higher concentration of potassium in urine. This mechanism helps maintain electrolyte balance and regulate blood pressure. Consequently, increased aldosterone levels can result in decreased serum potassium levels, a condition known as hypokalemia.
When there is more aldosterone being secreted a patients urine will appear light in color?
true
Which general anaesthesia can decrease aldosterone level as its side effect?
etomidatel
