Does Aldosterone increases or decrease urine production?

Also does it result in higher sodium levels in the urine?

Thank you

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "Aldosterone effect on urine" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that plays a role in regulating sodium and water balance in the body. Its main function is to stimulate the reabsorption of sodium and the excretion of potassium in the kidneys.

In terms of urine production, aldosterone actually decreases urine production. It does this by increasing the reabsorption of water in the kidneys, which leads to a decrease in the volume of urine produced. This is part of the body's mechanism to conserve water when aldosterone levels are high.

Now, regarding sodium levels in the urine, aldosterone actually leads to a decrease in sodium excretion. It promotes the reabsorption of sodium in the kidneys, which means that less sodium is excreted in the urine. This results in higher sodium levels in the body, rather than in the urine.

So, to summarize:
- Aldosterone decreases urine production.
- It leads to higher sodium levels in the body, not in the urine.
