  ADH
ADH is a test that measures the amount of ADH in serum.
In certain diseases, the normal release of ADH is altered, and the serum level of ADH must be tested to determine the cause.
ADH may be measured as part of a "water restriction test" to more thoroughly investigate the cause of a disease.

  Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) Test Information on Healthline
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) test, also called the Vasopressin test, is a test for the antidiuretic hormone, which is released from the pituitary gland and acts on the kidneys to increase their reabsorption of water into the blood.
An ADH test is used to aid in the diagnosis of diabetes insipidus or the syndrome of inappropriate ADH called SIADH.
ADH release helps maintain the optimum amount of water in the body when there is an increase in the concentration of the blood serum or a decrease in blood volume.
