Natriuresis

Natriuresis is the process of excretion of sodium in the urine via action of the kidneys. Natriuresis is promoted by Brain and Atrial natriuretic peptides, and it is inhibited by chemicals such as aldosterone. Natriuresis lowers the concentration of sodium in the blood and also tends to lower blood volume because osmotic forces make water follow sodium out of the body's blood circulation and into the urine. Many diuretic drugs take advantage of this mechanism to treat medical conditions like hypernatremia and high blood pressure. Natural Disasters (From the Wikpedia article Natriuresis.)
