Rationale 2: Antidiuretic hormone does not directly influence serum potassium concentration.
Rationale 3: Antidiuretic hormone increases reabsorption of water. Hypernatremia is associated with fluid volume deficit.
Rationale 4: Antidiuretic hormone increases permeability of the collecting ducts and promotes reabsorption of water.
Global Rationale: Antidiuretic hormone increases renal tubular permeability and water retention. Antidiuretic hormone does not directly influence serum potassium concentration. Antidiuretic hormone increases reabsorption of water. Hypernatremia is associated with fluid volume deficit. Antidiuretic hormone increases permeability of the collecting ducts and promotes reabsorption of water.
