Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Antidiuretic hormone: ADH (vasopressin) acts on kidney tubules to control amount of water to be reabsorbed after initial blood filtration by kidney glomeruli (mini-filters). ADH (vasopressin) is produced by pituitary gland with more produced at night to reduce urine output & less by day. Urination controlled by nervous system & not by hormones.

Im a 30 year old male. I had a high random urine sodium level of 80 mmol/L. My sodium blood tests have always been low or low normal the past few years. Could this be a low aldosterone problem or a hormone problem or low cortisol?
