A patient complains of constant thirst, excessive passing of urine and low blood pressure. When the doctor checked the patients’ blood glucose and blood insulin level, the level were normal or slightly low. The doctor diagnosed the condition as diabetes insupidus. But he decided to measure one more hormone in patients blood. Which hormone does the doctor intend to measure?
Doctor intends to measure vasopressin hormone because this hormone increases the reabsorption of water by the kidney and deficiency of this hormone decreases reabsorption of water and thus leads formation of excessive urine which results in constant thirst and low blood pressure.
