What is the function of ADH? What are some factors that affect the urine volume produced daily?

Answer 1

ADH or Anti Diuretic Hormone controls and regulates the proper concentration of water in urine.

The antidiuretic hormone, or ADH, regulates and controls the ideal water content of urine.

ADH, also known as vasopressin:

Urine production rises when ADH secretion is decreased; urine production also rises when diuretics such as alcohol, tea, and coffee are consumed.

The function of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is to regulate water balance in the body by controlling the amount of water reabsorbed by the kidneys. Factors affecting urine volume include hydration level, dietary intake, hormonal balance, medications, and certain medical conditions.
