Excess secretion of aldosterone causes all except

A
Increased ECF
B
Very High Na+ in plasma
C
Increased BP
D
Natriuresis
High-Yield Explanation
B i.e. Very High Na+ in plasma Hyperaldosteronism (excess mineralocoicosteroid) leads to potassium (K+) depletion/ hypokalemia and sodium (Na+) retention, usually without edema but with weakness tetany, polyuria, hypeension and hypokalemic mild metabolic alkalosisQ. Hyperaldosteronism does not cause metabolic acidossQ. And plasma Na+ level is elevated only slightly if at allQ because water is retained with osmolically active Na+ ions.
