Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diabetes insipidus is characterized by undersecretion of ADH, leading to excessive thirst (polydipsia) and production of large amounts of diluted urine (polyuria). GHD (growth hormone deficiency) and gigantism are unrelated to ADH secretion, while Simmonds disease typically involves deficiencies in multiple hormones including ADH but does not specifically result in polydipsia and polyuria.
