What are the Symptoms of ADH Dysregulation Due to Toxic Exposure?
Symptoms of ADH dysregulation can vary depending on whether there is an excess or deficiency of the hormone. Excessive ADH, often termed the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), can lead to water retention, low blood sodium, and symptoms such as headache, nausea, and in severe cases, seizures. Conversely, low ADH levels can result in excessive urine production, dehydration, and thirst, a condition known as diabetes insipidus.
