1. Renin.
2. Antidiuretic hormone .
3. Aldosterone.
Rationale: Renin. There will be an increase in the secretion of renin, which converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin, stimulating the release of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex. Antidiuretic hormone. There will be an increase in the antidiuretic hormone in response to an increased serum osmolality. Aldosterone. There will be an increase in the secretion of rennin, which converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin, stimulating the release of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex. Vitamin D. This does not reflect hydration status, which is normally impaired in hypotension and shock states. Chloride. This level is not increased in shock states.
