A patient has an ADH-secreting pulmonary carcinoma (syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion). As a result of unregulated ADH secretion, you would expect to find: a.      retention of water resulting in volume expansion b.      low urinary osmolality c.      increased renal sodium reabsorption d.      high serum sodium concentration e.      b and c   A 25-year old woman develops a nonfunctional hypothalamic tumor that results in a complete inability to produce oxytocin.
