C. hypothyroidism In hypothyroidism, there can be an increase in antidiuretic hormone (ADH) levels. This is thought to be due to decreased renal blood flow or reduced kidney response to hormones like thyroid hormone, which can indirectly increase ADH secretion. The elevated ADH results in water retention and may contribute to the development of hyponatremia (low sodium levels) often seen in hypothyroid patients.
