Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diabetes insipidus is caused by a lack of ADH, which is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. ADH regulates water balance in the body by promoting water reabsorption in the kidney. Without adequate levels of ADH, excessive amounts of dilute urine are produced, leading to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
