Overview
Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone production is a condition in which the body develops an excess of water and a decrease in the concentration of electrolytes. SIADH may be caused by a central nervous system diseases, cancers, pulmonary diseases, or some drugs.
Pathophysiology
The normal function of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) on the kidneys is to control the amount of water reabsorbed by kidney nephrons. ADH acts in the distal portion of the renal tubule (distal convoluted tubule) as well as on the collecting duct and causes the retention of water. Owing to the water retention, dilution of the blood and hyponatremia occurs.
Pathogenesis

- ADH is normally produced by the posterior pituitary gland.
- In SIADH, ADH level rises above the normal level.
- Aquaporins are localized on storage vesicles in the cytoplasm of the epithelial cells which make up the collecting ducts of the kidneys.
- High ADH level stimulates mass fusion of aquaporin-carrying storage vesicles with the plasma membrane.
- High aquaporin density facilitates high diffusion of water across the plasma membrane.
- Excess water is reabsorbed from the nephrons and is returned to the blood.
Feedback inhibition
- Developmentally, Mammalian brain have evolved in times of water scarcity.
- ADH is secreted to prevent water loss in the kidneys.
- When water is ingested, it is taken up into the circulation and results in a dilution of the plasma.
- This dilution, otherwise described as a reduction in plasma osmolality is detected by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus of the brain. Then, these switch off the release of ADH.
- The decreasing concentration of ADH effectively inhibits the aquaporins in the collecting ducts and distal convoluted tubules in the nephrons of the kidney.
- This leads to less water reabsorption, thereby increasing urine output, decreasing urine osmolality, and increasing (normalization of) blood osmolality.
- In general, the plasma sodium concentration is the primary osmotic determinant of AVP release. In SIADH, there is non physiological secretion of AVP. There is enhanced water reabsorption, leading to dilutional hyponatremia.
Genetics
- A mutation affecting the gene for the renal V2 receptor
- Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is characterized by a resistance of the renal collecting duct to the action of the arginine vasopressin hormone responsible for the inability of the kidney to concentrate urine.
- Inactivating mutations of the V2 receptor gene leading to a loss of function of the mutated receptors are implicated in the X-linked form.[1]
Associated conditions
- SIADH is most commonly associated with:
Gross pathology
There are no gross pathology findings associated with SIADH, however SIADH may be associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, which exhibits the following gross pathology findings:
Microscopic pathology
There are no microscopic findings associated with SIADH, however SIADH may be associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, which exhibits the following microscopic pathology findings:
