Anti diuretic hormone (ADH) also known as vasopressin is a polypeptide hormone released from the pituitary gland. This hormone is involved in the sexual motivation and social behavior of the organism.
ADH is released in case of low blood pressure and blood volume. This hormone helps in the conservation of body water and also constricts the arteriole. This increases the blood pressure, blood volume and maintains the homeostasis of the body.
Acute glomerulonephritis usually occurs as a result of bacterial infection such as seen with a beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection or impetigo. RBC and protein found in the urine and elevation of blood pressure are symptoms associated with glomerulonephritis.
