diabetes insipidus
Hyposecretion of vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) by the pituitary gland is the main cause of diabetes insipidus. This hormone helps regulate water balance in the body, and a deficiency leads to excessive urination and thirst characteristic of diabetes insipidus.
ADH causes the body (kidney) to conserve water and produce more concentrated urine

hyposecretion is when not enough (hypo=low) of a certain substance (usually a hormone) is being secreted(released) into the bloodstream etc. For example, a hyposecretion of growth hormone would result in that individual in having pituitary-dwarfism.
ADH, or antidiuretic hormone, helps regulate water balance by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys. This hormone helps to concentrate urine and maintain fluid balance in the body by reducing urine output. If ADH levels are too low, it can lead to increased urination and dehydration.

because the ADH causes reabsortion of water by the kidneys
Hypo = too low Secretion = production Hyposecretion = too low production Too low production of insulin causes hyperglycemia. The chronic condition is called Diabetes Mellitus.

Hyposecretion of Anti-Diuretic Hormone - Diabetes insipidusDue to decreased production of anti-diuretic hormone in the supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus. Often associated with a head injury.Symptoms: Excessive diuresis and thirst (polyuria and polydipsia)
