title: The antidiuretic hormone response to therapy for acute asthma.
abstract: The plasma antidiuretic hormone concentrations in eight asthmatic children were measured at the onset of an acute severe attack and were repeated 24 h later. Conventional therapy and maintenance fluid intake resulted in a significant fall in antidiuretic hormone concentrations without abnormal changes in other biochemical indicators of dehydration.
