To conserve water, the hormone A.D.H is released when the osmotic pressure of blood and body fluid is higher than normal. This causes the Nephron to reabsorb water from the glomerular filtrate. This conserves water in order to reduce its osmotic pressure since aldosterone is not released. Excess salts in the glomerular filtrate are not reabsorbed, then elimination helps reduce the osmotic pressure back to normal.
