Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) Affects water retention in kidneys and sodium balance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antidiuretic hormone is made by a part of the brain called the hypothalamus and is secreted into the blood by the pituitary gland. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -ADH travels in the bloodstream to its target organ, the kidneys. It causes the kidney tubules to become more permeable . This means more water can leave the kidney tubule to be reabsorbed back into the blood during selective reabsorption.

Detailed explanation-5: -ADH is a substance produced naturally in an area of the brain called the hypothalamus. It is then released by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain.
