ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Certain types of tumors may release high amounts of antidiuretic hormone, which can cause low levels of sodium in the blood and the body to retain water. Also called arginine vasopressin and vasopressin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) helps regulate the amount of water in your body. It works to control the amount of water your kidneys reabsorb as they filter out waste from your blood. This hormone is also called arginine vasopressin (AVP).

Detailed explanation-3: -ADH thus decreases the volume of excretory urine and the nature of urine becomes hypertonic (concentrated). Due to this type of function, vasopressin is known as an antidiuretic hormone.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vasopressin (also called antidiuretic hormone) helps regulate the amount of water in the body by controlling how much water is excreted by the kidneys. Vasopressin decreases water excretion by the kidneys. As a result, more water is retained in the body, which dilutes the level of sodium in the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -ADH enables the kidneys to retain water in the body. The hormone is produced in a region of the brain called the hypothalamus. It is stored and released from the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain. When diabetes insipidus is caused by a lack of ADH, it is called central diabetes insipidus.
