Increased aldosterone causes
A
decreased reabsorption of sodium
B
decreased secretion of potassium
C
decreased reabsorption of chloride
D
increased permeability of the distal tubule to water
E
decreased volume of urine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aldosterone signals certain organs, like your kidneys and colon, to increase the amount of sodium they send into your bloodstream or the amount of potassium released in your urine (pee). Aldosterone’s effect on sodium increase causes your body to retain water in your blood, which increases blood volume.

Detailed explanation-2: -ADH, also known as anti-diuretic hormone, acts to decrease urine production and excretion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Overproduction of aldosterone causes the body to retain more sodium and lose potassium, which leads to elevated blood pressure. Patients with this condition are at increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
