electrolytes regulated by kidney so that a proper concentration is maintained within blood

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aldosterone causes the kidneys to retain sodium and to excrete potassium. When sodium is retained, less urine is produced, eventually causing blood volume to increase. The pituitary gland secretes vasopressin (sometimes called antidiuretic hormone). Vasopressin causes the kidneys to conserve water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aldosterone (ALD) is a hormone your adrenal glands release that helps regulate blood pressure by managing the levels of sodium and potassium in your blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -The kidneys help to maintain electrolyte concentrations by regulating its concentrations in the body. Any disturbance in this process often leads to an electrolyte imbalance.
