Description
This bloodwork tests:
- Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH), Plasma (010447)
- Osmolality (002071)
- Complete Blood Count (CBC) With Differential (005009)
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14) (322000)
- Ferritin (004598) (indicator of inflammation)
This is a test to draw blood from a nearby LabCorp. To get a better picture, we will also run your Osmolality, Ferritin and Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) and your Complete Blood Count (CBC).
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH), Plasma (010447)
- An indication of CIRS is dysregulation of primary hormonal systems in the body including the ACTH/cortisol axis, ADH/osmolality control and altered levels of sex hormones like low testosterone
- Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is responsible for regulating the balance of fluid and salt in the body. Other names for ADH include arginine vasopressin (AVP) and vasopressin. Doctors use an ADH test to look for possible underlying causes of fluid and electrolyte imbalances.
Functions of Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH) – aka Arginine Vasopressin
- Fluid Balance: Regulates water reabsorption in kidneys.
- Blood Pressure Modulation: Affects vascular resistance.
- Sodium Homeostasis: Maintains sodium levels.
- Homeostasis: Activates coagulation factors and regulates circadian rhythm.
ADH Mechanism
- Water Reabsorption: Increases water reabsorption in kidneys, reducing urine output and increasing blood volume (which decreases serum osmolality).
- Osmolality Regulation: Hypothalamus monitors serum osmolality to adjust ADH levels.
Negative Feedback Loop: Balances fluid volume and sodium concentration.
- If osmolality increases, ADH increases, then thirst increases, making less urine/saving free water, then fluid volume goes up and Na+ (sodium concentration) goes down.
- If osmolality decreases, ADH decreases, then thirst goes decreases, making more urine/waste free water, then fluid volume goes down and Na+ goes up.
88% of CIRS adults have abnormal or dysregulated ADH.
Osmolality (002071)
- An indication of CIRS is dysregulation of primary hormonal systems in the body including the ACTH/cortisol axis, ADH/osmolality control and altered levels of sex hormones like low testosterone.

All tests from Nutrition with Judy include a detailed analysis report that includes NwJ explanations, dietary and supplement recommendations, as well as customized next steps based on your test results. The analysis is usually sent a few days after LabCorp results are released.
