Ectopic Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion

How it presents: It can cause nausea, headache, confusion, weakness, and, in marked cases, drowsiness, due to the imbalance of salts in the body.
Why does it happen? It is associated with various conditions, including certain tumors and diseases that stimulate the release of the hormone.
Who studies it? The endocrinologist is the professional who evaluates hormonal and fluid imbalances like this one. If you have symptoms such as confusion or weakness along with tests showing low sodium, it is wise to have it assessed by this specialist.
