Aldosterone refers to a hormone that acts on the nephron tubules stimulating the reabsorption of the sodium. Thus, it contributes in the increase of blood osmolarity and subsequently, in the increase of blood pressure. Aldosterone is generally made through the adrenals, glands situated over the superior portion of the kidneys.
