What is Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH)?
Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH) is a condition where there is excessive release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the pituitary gland or other sources. This leads to water retention and dilutional hyponatremia, which can be particularly concerning in pediatric patients due to their developing physiology.
