Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH)
Definition
Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is a condition characterized by the excessive release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the pituitary gland, leading to water retention and hyponatremia. This imbalance can result in various symptoms and complications, and may be caused by factors such as medications, underlying medical conditions, or central nervous system disorders.
