Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is released by the pituitary gland in response to low blood volume or high blood osmolarity (which occurs with dehydration). Its function is to increase water reabsorption in the kidneys, reducing urine output and helping to maintain blood volume and pressure. Therefore, high blood levels of ADH would be found in someone who is dehydrated (option B).
