Hyponatremia. Hyponatremia or hyponatraemia is a low concentration of sodium in the blood. [ 4] It is generally defined as a sodium concentration of less than 135 mmol/L (135 mEq/L ), with severe hyponatremia being below 120 mEq/L. [ 3][ 8] Symptoms can be absent, mild or severe. [ 2][ 9] Mild symptoms include a decreased ability to think ...
Vasopressin. Human vasopressin, also called antidiuretic hormone ( ADH ), arginine vasopressin ( AVP) or argipressin, [ 5] is a hormone synthesized from the AVP gene as a peptide prohormone in neurons in the hypothalamus, [ 6] and is converted to AVP. It then travels down the axon terminating in the posterior pituitary, and is released from ...
The most common is the adrenal gland secreting inappropriately elevated ADH (anti-diuretic hormone), called SIADH (syndrome of inappropriate ADH). Certain medical conditions such as kidney issues ...
