What are the Diagnostic Tests for ADH-related Disorders?
Several diagnostic tests can help identify disorders related to ADH levels:
Water Deprivation Test: Assesses the body's ability to concentrate urine in response to dehydration. ADH Blood Test: Measures the level of ADH in the blood to diagnose conditions like SIADH or diabetes insipidus. Serum and Urine Osmolality: Evaluates the concentration of particles in the blood and urine, helping to diagnose fluid balance disorders. Electrolyte Panel: Determines levels of key electrolytes such as sodium and potassium, often affected by ADH imbalances.
