What effect would low circulating levels of antidiuretic hormone have on urine production?
A
Large amount of urine
B
Diluted urine
C
An infection
D
Blood in urine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. A low level results in greater urine production.

Detailed explanation-2: -In most cases of diabetes insipidus, your hypothalamus isn’t making enough ADH, your pituitary gland isn’t releasing enough ADH or your kidneys aren’t properly using ADH. This causes frequent and excessive water loss through your urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -A higher-than-normal level of ADH may be found in people with heart failure, liver failure, or some kind of kidney disease. A lower-than-normal level may indicate: Damage to the hypothalamus or pituitary gland. Central diabetes insipidus (a condition in which the kidneys are not able to conserve water)
