Solution
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH):
Antidiuretic hormone is also known as Vasopressin.
It is naturally occurring hormone which helps in controlling various physical processes & several life-threatening conditions, including bleeding abnormalities and septic shocks.
The low levels of Antidiuretic hormone in blood cells could result in:
Diabetes insipidus
Primary polydipsia
Damage to hypothalamus or pituitary gland
A lot of water is excreted by kidneys, which then increases urine volume and lowers blood pressure.
The high level of Antidiuretic hormone in the blood cells could result in:
In acute conditions, symptoms include – headache, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, etc. In very severe cases, coma and seizures can also occur.
Other symptoms of increased Antidiuretic hormone includes- brain cancer, bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, blood cancer, lymphoma, emphysema, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, etc.
Thus, antidiuretic hormone increases the body fluid volume.
