A patient is given supplemental antidiuretic hormone or ADH and the patient's kidneys respond to the ADH by increasing water reabsorption by creating less urine. The main role of the ADH is to conserve water in the body by reabsorption, so less water is removed from the body. This results in antidiuresis or decreased urine formation.
