Rationale for change
Originally just thought reabsorption might be more clear since aldosterone causes sodium reabsorption and sodium retention is more of a secondary descriptor.
Maybe it's more clear maybe not. Don't feel very strongly about this. If you disagree just feel free to reject no discussion needed!

ADH and Aldosterone both have the same purpose: to increase blood pressure, aka increase water reabsorption.
But their mechanisms as well as action sites vary:
→ ADH reabsorbs water through opening pores; it works at the last part of nephron, the collecting duct.
→ Aldosterone reabsorbs sodium & secretes potassium; it works at the second last part of the nephron, the distal convoluted tubule, in addition to the collecting duct.
Misleading, remember that liver produces angiotensin.
