A Hypersecretion of ADH Can Cause a Condition Called Diabetes

Question

A hypersecretion of ADH can cause a condition called diabetes insipidus.

Accepted Answer

A hypersecretion of ADH would actually result in an increased reabsorption of water by the kidneys, which would lead to a decrease in urine output and an increase in urine concentration, the opposite of diabetes insipidus. Diabetes insipidus occurs due to a deficiency of ADH, leading to excessive water loss and diluted urine.
