Aldosterone and ADH

I know that ADH increases aquaporins in collecting duct, so more water reabs, increased BP and filtration rate, more concentrated urine.

I also know that Aldosterone causes distal to increase sodium uptake, and water follows as a result, so increasing BP and filtration rate.

What if a question has to do with urine solute concentration and these two hormones, will both cause a concentration of urine? Aldosterone takes in water as a second effect of sodium, so does it dilute urine or concentrate it.

Aldosterone causes the urine to be more concentrated.

urine is more than just sodium and water. So if aldosterone is causing reabsorpiton of sodium and thus water, then the urine should be getting more concentrated since less water is present in it.
