WHAT IS ADH?

WHAT IS ADH?

ADH stands for antidiuretic hormone, and this is a hormone that acts on the kidneys to tell the kidneys to retain more water.

ADH works in the body to help balance fluids and electrolytes, by helping to increase fluid volume.

So, how does ADH function?

In this video, I'll walk you through what you need to know about the ADH hormone for nursing school.

We'll talk about ADH secretion and ADH function, and break down the 4 key things you need to know about ADH, including:

ADH keeps fluid inside the body (to help increase fluid volume)
ADH secretion happens when electrolytes get concentrated
ADH secretion happens when when blood pressure is low
ADH is inhibited when blood volume is high

All of these actions of ADH help to increase fluid volume in the body, when fluid volume is low. So ADH tells the kidneys to hold onto more fluid, when there is a low fluid volume.

Thanks for watching, friend! :)
