    The hormone that causes the kidneys to reabsorb water and decrease urine production is antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin.

    It is secreted by the posterior pituitary gland, and is used to inhibit urine production so as to increase the volume of blood. Thus, when this hormone is secreted, blood pressure also rises given that there is more blood than usual.
