What is Anti Diuretic Hormone (ADH) Vasopressin Plasma?

This test measures the level of Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, in your blood plasma. ADH plays a vital role in regulating your body's water balance by controlling how much water your kidneys reabsorb.

Why is this test important?

Measuring ADH levels helps diagnose conditions related to water imbalance, such as diabetes insipidus (too little ADH) or Syndrome of Inappropriate ADH (SIADH, too much ADH). It's crucial for understanding symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination, or abnormal sodium levels.

How to Prepare

Fasting may be required. Please consult your doctor for specific instructions.
