title: Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion.
abstract: The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) results from the aberrant or sustained secretion of the antidiuretic hormone. Classic manifestations include water retention, hyponatremia, and hypo-osmolality of the serum. Treatment is aimed at differentiating SIADH from other causes of hyponatremia, determining the underlying disorder, and alleviating the excessive water retention and hyponatremia.
