What does the production of to much ADH by the pituitary gland can lead to?
Excessive production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) by the pituitary gland can lead to a condition known as syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). This results in water retention, dilutional hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood), and potentially causes symptoms such as headache, confusion, and seizures. The kidneys reabsorb more water, leading to concentrated urine and decreased urine output. If left untreated, SIADH can lead to serious neurological complications.
