AB This  condition  is  an  imbalance  of  water  due  to  a  deficiency  of  anti-diuretic  hormone  (ADH)  secreted  from  the  pituitary  gland  or  from  insensitivity  of  the  kidneys  to  ADH.  Conditions  that  affect  the  posterior  pituitary  gland  and  the  neurohypophyseal  tract  limit  the  secretion  of  ADH.  This  condition  leads  to  the  excretion  of  large  amounts  of  diluted  urine.  Individuals  with  this  condition  may  become  dehydrated,  leading  to  fatigue  and  irritability.1  This  condition  is  not  related  to  diabetes  mellitus,  which  affects  insulin  levels.  The  deficiency  of  or  insensitivity  to  ADH  does  not  directly  affect  an  individual's  endurance  or  cardiovascular  response  to  exercise.
