Reset Osmostat
The "reset osmostat" is a cause of hyponatremia, sometimes
considered a variant of SIADH, in which the kidney retains its
ability to appropriately concentrate and dilute the urine;
however, the threshold for ADH secretion is reset downward.
That is, instead of ADH being secreted with the serum
osmolality increases beyond 280-285 mOsm/kg as in most
individuals, it is secreted at a lower value.
