ADH is an abbreviation for the medical term Antidiuretic Hormone. ADH is a hormone that is released from the posterior pituitary gland that increases water reabsorption in tâ¦he kidneys, resulting in decreased urinary output.
The principal action of ADH is to regulate the amount of water excreted by the kidneys. As ADH (which is also known as vasopressin) causes direct water reabsorption from the kidney tubules, salts and wastes are concentrated in what will eventually be excreted as urine. The hypothalamus controls the mechanisms of ADH secretion, either by regulating blood volume or the concentration of water in the blood.
