Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Excessive secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) leads to retention of water in the body, resulting in fluid volume excess. This can lead to symptoms such as edema, decreased urine output, and hyponatremia. Hyperkalemia and hypernatremia are not typically associated with excess ADH secretion. Dehydration is a consequence of decreased ADH secretion.
