A 19-year-old young man was examined in the nephrology clinic. High calcium was detected in his secondary urine. What hormone is likely to cause such change, if it is produced in excess?
- A. Aldosterone
- B. Adrenaline
- C. Testosterone
- D. Oxytocin
- E. Glucagon

Consider which of these hormones acts directly on the nephron to change ion reabsorption, and how a change in tubular handling of one ion can secondarily drag calcium along.
