Abstract
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is clearly the hormone of paramount importance in the regulation of water excretion by the mammalian kidney. However, other hormones also influence renal water excretion and this portion of the symposium will examine how some of these hormones exert their effects. Because of the interrelationships of endocrine systems in homeostasis, almost any known hormone might be construed as having some effect; however, here only those hormones are considered which are thought to have major effects on renal handling of water. In theory, these effects might be mediated directly by hormonal alteration of renal tubular permeability to water, renal hemodynamics, tubular fluid and plasma electrolyte concentrations, collecting duct sensitivity to ADH or tubular fluid delivery to concentrating and diluting segments of the nephron. As will be apparent from this review, some hormones are known to combine several of these actions while the actions of others remain uncertain.
