  1. The kidneys remove waste products from the body by filtering them from the blood.

  1. The kidneys' main function is as a homeostatic regulator.

  2. The kidneys help to maintain these equilibrium levels, mainly the cardiovascular components. For example, they regulate blood pressure and volume through the absorption of water from the blood.

Which hormone is involved in maintaining water absorption?

There are a couple of names for the hormone. Both vasopressin and antidiuretic hormone are the same thing. Increased blood levels of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) will cause more water resorption in the kidneys, and relative hemodilution. Please be aware that this answer pertains to water that has already been absorbed in the bloodstream. There is no hormone, per se, that maintains water absorption from the digestive system into the bloodstream. This absorption is driven exclusively by concentration gradient and osmotic pressure. There are no hormones involved.
