title: Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of anti-diuretic hormone (SIADH) produced by an adenocarcinoma of the colon. Report of one case.
abstract: It is described a patient with all classical features of SIADH, and elevated levels of urinary ADH which was most probably produced by a colon carcinoma. It is proposed that all indistinct hyponatremias be thoroughly analysed and that urinary ADH be tentatively considered as a tumor marker for colon carcinoma.
