Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diabetes insipidus is a disorder resulting from the hyposecretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin. This hormone is responsible for regulating the amount of water reabsorbed by the kidneys, so a deficiency in ADH leads to excessive urine output and thirst, as seen in diabetes insipidus. Hypoglycemia is a disorder resulting from low blood sugar levels, diabetes mellitus is a disorder resulting from either inadequate insulin secretion (Type 1) or insulin insensitivity (Type 2), and goiter is a disorder resulting from an enlargement of the thyroid gland. None of these disorders are directly related to ADH secretion.
