Question

ADH deficiency shows, the following condition

• A. Polydipsia
• B. Polyuria
• C. Glucosuria
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and B

The term diuresis refers to the excessive production of urine. When excess water is lost through urine the blood volume is decreased and its osmolarity is increased which stimulates the posterior pituitary to release ADH. ADH decreases the volume of urine by increasing the reabsorption of water by kidneys and prevents diuresis. Hence it is also called antidiuretic hormone. ADH deficiency causes diuresis which leads to polydipsia (excess thirst) and polyuria (excess urine).

So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
