Which hormone controls the disposal of urine from the kidney?

Question

Accepted Answer

ADH UP UDA/LDA Spl. (M) 2010. ADH (Anti-Diuretic Hormone) controls the disposal of urine from the kidney. ADH is known as Vasopressin. The release of anti-diuretic hormone into the bloodstream is controlled by the pituitary gland. Anti-diuretic hormone acts to maintain blood pressure, blood volume and tissue water content by controlling the amount of water and hence the concentration of urine excreted by the kidney. Higher concentrations of anti-diuretic hormone cause blood vessels to constrict (become narrower) and this increases blood pressure.
