Answer:
There are various hormones that regulate kidney function.
•Aldosterone - stimulates reabsorption of water and sodium ions and excretion of phosphate and potassium ions.
• ADH - stimulates reabsorption of water from distal tubules and prevents diuresis.
•Atrial natriuretic factor - stimulates excretion of water and sodium ions. It's effect is opposite to that of aldosterone.
