Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diabetes insipidus is caused by a deficiency or insensitivity to antidiuretic hormone (ADH) which is also known as vasopressin. ADH is produced by the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland to regulate water reabsorption in the kidneys. A decrease in ADH production or function causes excessive urine production and dehydration, which are the symptoms of diabetes insipidus. Insulin, aldosterone, angiotensin II, and glucagon have no direct relation to ADH or diabetes insipidus.
