Hyponatremia and decreased urine output are exhibited with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (siadh).

<h3>What is secretion of antidiuretic hormone (siadh)?</h3>

Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) is a condition in which the body produces too much antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This hormone helps the kidneys control the amount of water the body loses through urine. SIADH causes the body to retain excess water. ADH is a substance that is naturally produced in an area of the brain called the hypothalamus. It is then released from the pituitary gland at the base of the brain.

There are many reasons why the body needs to produce large amounts of ADH. Common situations where ADH is (improperly) released into the blood when it shouldn't be produced include:

Drug therapy

During surgery General anesthesia
Brain disorders such as trauma, infections and stroke
Brain surgery involving the hypothalamus
Pulmonary disorders such as tuberculosis, cancer, chronic infections and pneumonia
Substance abuse

Rare causes include: There is a thing Pituitary
