Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)-Also called vasopressin, a hormone that acts on the kidneys to regulate water balance.

In the early 2000s medical research has found that many children who wet the bed may have a deficiency of an important hormone known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH).

Nerve impulses from the hypothalamus stimulate the posterior pituitary to produce ADH when the osmotic pressure of the blood rises.

Sodium balance in the body normally is controlled by aldosterone and ADH (antidiuretic hormone ).

Testing of many bed-wetting children has shown that these children do not have the usual increase in ADH during sleep.

The amount of ADH secreted by the posterior pituitary is determined by sensors in the brain which monitor the concentration of the blood.
