Vasopressin hormone
Step by step explanation:
- The patient has diabetes insipidus which means the patient has a disorder of salt and water metabolism.
- Due to this disorder the patient feels immense thirst and increase in urination.
- The doctor will ask for vassopressin hormone.
- It is an antidiuretic hormone.
- This hormone helps in regulating osmolality in the serum and hence maintains volume of water
- Increase in this hormone causes decrease in urine output
- Decrease in level of ADH will lead to increase urine output.
Hence the doctor wants to check the level of ADH
