The basic principle here is that a higher concentration of solute in the extracellular fluid means that there is a higher osmotic pressure.
This causes an increase in capillary pressure and therefore capillary filtration.

 HOW IS EXTRACELLULAR FLUID VOLUME SENSED AND REGULATED
Results from our laboratory in humans using water immersion to stimulate renal output of sodium and fluid indicate that some degree of hemodilution is a necessity for the renal responses to occur.
In addition, numerous possible mediators of renal sodium and water handling have been identified, where the quantitative importance of each has not yet been determined: Natriuretic peptides, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, renal sympathetic nervous activity, arginine vasopressin, renal dopamine, prostaglandines etc.

 VIII. Control of Extracellular Fluid Volume
It is not surprising, therefore, that the control of ECF fluid volume, in marked contrast to control of the ECF osmotic concentration, is accomplished by a variety of mechanisms, many of which are poorly understood.
It is customary to speak of control of extracellular fluid volume, but it is apparent that many of the various mechanisms are triggered by factors related to the volume of the vascular compartment.
The extracellular fluid compartment is a complex entity composed not only of two major divisions, the vascular and the interstitial fluid compartments, but also of several subdivisions of these, each with differing characteristics.

 C.Dallemagne's Teaching Materials
Sodium is mainly found in extracellular fluids, at a concentration of around 140-145 mmol/L; sodium is a cation (positive charge), chloride, an anion (negative charge), accompanies sodium.
The location of sodium in the extracellular fluid means that total body sodium is tightly linked to extracellular fluid: the more total body sodium, the greater the extracellular fluid volume (keep sodium concentration constant, at around 145mmol/L).
The tight connection between sodium and extracellular fluid volume means a close relationship between sodium and blood volume.
