Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
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: -Aldosterone increases the reabsorption of sodium from nephron filtrate. The reabsorption of sodium leads to reabsorption of water, which makes the urine more concentrated.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aldosterone also causes water to be reabsorbed along with sodium; this increases blood volume and therefore blood pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -The net effect of aldosterone is sodium reabsorption and water retention, which leads to a decreased urine volume with lower osmolarity.

Detailed explanation-5: -ADH, also known as anti-diuretic hormone, acts to decrease urine production and excretion.
