An Overview of Antidiuretic Hormone
Antidiuretic hormone, along with aldosterone, help to regulate the water balance of the body in order to maintain adequate perfusion. Levels of ADH are increased during times of stress, hypotension, pain, low intravascular volumes, and a high plasma osmolality. This favors water retention
