Yes, a lack of vasopressin (ADH) can cause excessive urination, a condition called Diabetes insipidus. Vasopressin is released by the posterior pituitary, but is actually produced in the hypothalamus and transported to the posterior pituitary through axons. Thus, an inability of the hypothalamus to produce vasopressin would cause excessive urination.
Since the hypothalamus is involved in thirst, it will have a part in the production of urine.

ADH is the hormone regulate the volume of urine. It is produced by the hypothalamus. It secreted by anterior pituitary.

ADH is the hormone regulate the volume of urine. It is produced by the hypothalamus. It secreted by anterior pituitary.
That hormone is called ADH or antidiuretic hormone. Diuresis means producing urine and antiduresis is the opposite.
Posterior pituitary gland secreting anti-diuretic hormone.
Hypothalamus
Can a brain lesion cause excessive thirst even if the pituitary gland is normal? Also where would the lesion be located?
hypothalamus
Hypothalamus is a noun.
Hypothalamus is one of many glands. Hypothalamus is very important due to many reasons.
My hypothalamus must be out of whack. The hypothalamus is located inside of the human skull.
ADH stands for Antidiuretic hormone. It is a hormone produced by the part of the brain called hypothalamus. It acts as the controller for kidney to release the amount of water that is excreted in the urine.
The medical term for the hypothalamus is "hypothalamic region" or simply "hypothalamus."
