English term or phrase: sensitive radioimmunoassay serum ADH test

Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH)

Laboratory tests combined with the patient’s clinical profile are the best indica-tors of the amount of ADH released into the bloodstream. The serum ADH test measures the amount of ADH present in a frozen sample of blood.
The normal result is 1 to 5 pg/mL. A more accurate direct measurement of ADH is possible through a sensitive radioimmunoassay serum ADH test. BUN, albumin, creatinine, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and electrolyte values may also be affected and should be evaluated.
