    Glossary Aldosterone

    hormone that regulates sodium and potassium balance in blood

    Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, which are located above the kidneys. It plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure by controlling the balance of sodium and potassium in the blood. For professionals, it's important to note that aldosterone acts on the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the nephron in the kidneys, promoting sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion, which in turn influences water retention and blood volume.
