Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, is a hormone that regulates water balance in the body. When the body becomes dehydrated, ADH secretion increases, causing the kidneys to retain more water and produce less urine, therefore conserving water in the body. This results in a higher concentration of ADH in the blood.
