The kidney secretes the hormones renin, calcitriol and erythropoietin. Renin-also known as angiotensinogenase, helps to control the body's blood pressure by regulating the â¦ balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body. Calcitriol-This is a form of Vitamin D which regulates calcium and phosphorous levels in the body.
Three major hormones are involved in regulating sodium and water balance in the body at the level of the kidney. (1) ADH (antidiuretic hormone) from the posterior pituitary acts on the kidney to promote water reabsorption, thus preventing its loss in the urine.(2) Aldosterone from the adrenal gland acts on the kidney to promote sodium reabsorption, thus preventing its loss in the urine.1) ADH (antidiuretic hormone) from the posterior pituitary acts on the kidney to promote water reabsorption, thus preventing its loss in the urine.
