Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is a condition in which the body makes too much antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This hormone helps the kidneys control the amount of water your body loses through the urine. SIADH causes the body to retain too much water. ADH is a substance produced naturally in an area of the brain called the hypothalamus. It is then released by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. There are many reasons why the body needs to make a lot of ADH. Common situations when ADH is released into the blood when it should not be produced (inappropriate) include:
Rare causes include:
With SIADH, the urine is very concentrated. Not enough water is excreted and there is too much water in the blood. This dilutes many substances in the blood such as sodium. A low blood sodium level is the most common cause of symptoms of too much ADH. Often, there are no symptoms from a mildly low sodium level. More symptoms occur the lower the level of the sodium. When symptoms do occur, they may include any of the following:
The health care provider will perform a complete physical examination to help determine the cause of your symptoms. Establishing fluid status (dehydrated, volume overload, normal volume) is an important part of making the correct diagnosis. Lab tests that can confirm and help diagnose low sodium include:
ADH can be measured in the blood, but is difficult to process for many labs and takes up to two weeks to get a result. Serum co-peptin can be used to estimate the ADH level in the blood. Treatment depends on the cause of the problem. For example, surgery is done to remove a tumor producing ADH. Or, if a medicine is the cause, its dosage may be changed or another medicine may be tried. In all cases, the first step is to limit fluid intake. This helps prevent excess fluid from building up in the body. Your provider will tell you what your total daily fluid intake should be. The restriction is not just for water, but for almost all fluids (coffee, tea, juice, soda, etc.). If you have severe symptoms, it is a medical emergency. This is usually treated with salt solution (3% saline) given through an IV into the veins (intravenous) in the hospital. Medicines may be needed to block the effects of ADH on the kidneys so that excess water is excreted by the kidneys. These medicines may be given as pills or as injections given into the veins. Outcome depends on the condition that is causing the problem. Low sodium that occurs rapidly, in less than 48 hours (acute hyponatremia), is more dangerous than low sodium that develops slowly over time. When sodium level falls slowly over days or weeks (chronic hyponatremia), the brain cells have time to adjust and the acute symptoms such as brain swelling don't occur. Chronic hyponatremia is associated with nervous system problems such as poor balance and poor memory. Many causes of SIADH are reversible. Rapid correction of chronic hyponatremia can also cause dangerous complications (osmotic demyelination). In severe cases, low sodium can lead to:
When your body's sodium level drops too much, it can be a life-threatening emergency. Call your provider right away if you have symptoms of this condition.

What are the effects of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone SIADH )? Solute?Inappropriate (increased) ADH secretion causes an unrelenting increase in solute-free water ("free water") absorption by the kidneys, with two consequences. First, in the extracellular fluid (ECF) space, there is a dilution of blood solutes, causing hypoosmolality, including a low sodium concentration - hyponatremia.
Which characteristic is seen in syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion SIADH )?Cramps or tremors. Depressed mood,memory impairment. Irritability. Personality changes, such as combativeness, confusion, and hallucinations.
What electrolytes are affected by SIADH?SIADH makes it harder for your body to release water. Additionally, SIDAH causes levels of electrolytes, like sodium, to fall as a result of water retention. A low sodium level or hyponatremia is a major complication of SIADH and is responsible for many of the symptoms of SIADH.
What system does SIADH affect?Hereditary SIADH, also known as nephrogenic SIADH, has been ascribed to the gain of function mutation in vasopressin 2 (V2) receptors in the kidneys. Central nervous system disturbances: Any central nervous system (CNS) abnormality can enhance ADH-release from the pituitary gland, leading to SIADH.
