Question

How is (a)Water balance, and (b) Salt balance maintained by kidney?

Answer 1

Answer:

The researchers found that the kidney conserves or releases water by balancing levels of sodium, potassium, and the waste product urea. This may be what ties glucocorticoid levels to salt intake. A high salt diet increased glucocorticoid levels, causing muscle and liver to burn more energy to produce urea, which was then used in the kidney for water conservation. That also led the mice to eat more. These salt-driven changes in metabolism may thus partly explain why high salt diets have been linked to diabetes, heart disease, and other health problems that can result from the condition known as metabolic syndrome. Thus, salt and water balance is maintained by the kidney.

Answer 2

The way Water balance and Salt balance maintained by kidney is as follows:

• The kidney maintains the salt and water in body not only by the process of excess sodium release, but releasing of water through urine.
• Level of sodium, urea and potassium get balanced by releasing water by kidney.
