ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -ADH primarily affects the ability of the kidney to reabsorb water; when present, ADH induces expression of water transport proteins in the late distal tubule and collecting duct to increase water reabsorption. Several disease states arise when the body loses control of ADH secretion or responds to its presence.

Detailed explanation-2: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a chemical produced in the brain that causes the kidneys to release less water, decreasing the amount of urine produced. A high ADH level causes the body to produce less urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is a hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland. It acts chiefly on nephrons and helps to increase the reabsorption of water from the kidney tubules. It also stimulates the reabsorption of electrolytes by the distal tubules, thereby decreasing the deficiency of water through urine.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -What ADH Does. 2) Increases the absorption of water by the kidney. By making the kidneys reabsorb water, it limits urine output and helps control the body’s water balance.
