increase in atrial natriuretic factor secretion
|
|

decrease in renin secretion
|

decrease in ADH secretion

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hyponatremia is mediated initially by ADH-induced water retention that results in volume expansion which activities secondary natriuretic mechanisms causing sodium and water loss and restoration of euvolemia. This euvolemia should not be confused with normal water content of the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Diabetes insipidus is caused by a lack of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin, which prevents dehydration, or the kidney’s inability to respond to ADH. ADH enables the kidneys to retain water in the body. The hormone is produced in a region of the brain called the hypothalamus.
