First of all production of glomerular filtrate is 125 ml/min according to most current major textbooks in physiology and the standard value used in practise. This equals to 180 L of glomerular filtrate per day.

Second of all aldosterone is not a true antidiuretic. Vassopressin is the antidiuretic, without it no water retention occurs, it is the necessary factor. However aldosterone can secondarily lead to greater water retention because water follows by osmotis due to increased absorption of Na+.

Third of all, in the field of medicine new resarch is done continuisly, and our understanding of many things change thereby. Should a article be based on a 27 year old textbook as reference? Medicine is not in the same place it was then, it is far more updated. [anonymous]
