Ty · Answer 1

Molly's kidney will adapt to this sodium meal by increasing the sodium content of the urine and later decreasing the amount of pure water in the urine. Its accomplished through the hormone aldosterone. as dietary sodium level increases, the secretion of aldosterone decreases resulting in an increase loss of sodium from body and decreases loss of pure water.
