Description of the Webinar
Since life forms emerged from water to land, antidiuretic hormone (ADH) has played a central role in water homoeostasis necessary for terrestrial habitat. While essential for sustaining intravascular volume for such vital issues as flight and fight reaction, it may longterm have negative effects increasing proteinuria, renal plasma flow, and hyper filtration, accelerating loss of kidney function. Humans are normally antidiuretic, but ingestion of supplemental water can significantly reduce ADH levels. We will explore the relationship and its potential treatment role in chronic kidney disease.
