It is no doubt that the edema is a state of abnormal retention and distribution of sodium and water and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is the potent water conservatory hormone. A clinical and experimental study was made on the role of ADH in the causation of edema occurring in congestive heart failure. The correlations between ADH secretion and clinical findings were investigated and in addition, ADH secretion was estimated in dog with ascites. The result obtained showed that ADH secretion was increased in edematous state and ADH played a part in water reabsorption.
