UMLS:C0020595 Decreased aldosterone UMLS:C1846226 Decreased aldosterone production HP:0004319 Aldosterone is a hormone that is produce by the adrenal cortex and that acts on the distal tubules and collecting ducts to favor retention of sodium excretion of potassium, and increased water retention, thereby tending to increase blood pressure. Aldosterone is sometimes called a mineralocorticoid because of its influence on sodium homeostasis.
