Explanation:

The endocrine system and the excretory system works hand in hand in maintained thé functions of the body and in this context that kidneys. The hypothalamus functions in monitoring the amount of electrolytes in the blood and an increase in this amount indicates dehydration among others, whose cause might be s a result of low water intake, too much sweat etc. Detecting this, the hypothalamus signals for the secretion of antidiuretic hormone which moves to the kidneys and stimulate the organ to reabsorb more water. This hormone is transferred to and released by the pituitary gland all these being part of the endocrine system.
