Question

Which of the following causes an increase in sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule

• A. Increase in antidiuretic hormone levels
• B. Decrease in aldosterone levels
• C. Decrease in antidiuretic hormone levels
• D. Increase in aldosterone levels

Answer 1

The correct option is D Increase in aldosterone levels

Aldosterone is the hormone produced by the adrenal gland. Aldosterone balance sodium and potassium in our body. The aldosterone is produced by the adrenal gland causes the body to lose potassium and retain sodium. Hence an increase in aldosterone levels causes the increase in sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule

So, the correct answer is 'Increase in aldosterone levels'.
