There are a number of hormones involved in kidney function. The steroid hormone aldosterone is produced in the adrenal cortex. Anti-diuretic hormone (also known as vasopressin) is a peptide hormone that is synthesized by the hypothalamus, but released by the posterior pituitary, so I believe the answer they are looking for is D. However, there is also the RAAS system, where renin is produced by the JGA, and angiotensinogen is produced by the liver.

Kidneys produce ACE or angiotensin converting enzyme that helps producing aldosterone. Kidneys are also responsible for converting Vit D in active form. Your question is not clear, you may like to know how the other functions of the kidneys are affected by dialysis. Dialysis really helps in removing waste/excess materials from the blood. It helps in homoeostasis. The enzymes normally produced by kidneys will have same effect though they may probably be produced in less amount. Hope it helps. Good luck!

d. (a and c) Vasopressin (ADH) is produced in the posterior pituitary and Aldosterone is produced in the adrenal cortex. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is also influential and is produced by the heart cells.
The hormones, epinephrin & norepinephrin, produced in the adrenal medulla might also be construed to have an effect on the kidney as they target many tissues in the "fight or flight" response.

B. Hopefully your teacher/professor realizes that the posterior pituitary does not produce any hormones, but rather receives them via nuerosecretory cells from the hypothalamus, where they are then stored and sent into circulation.

the awnser is D. being as though the adrenal cortex produces a stimulant for the pituatary gland. when the pituatary gland is stimulated it then produces hormones for the kidney
