Inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE): a case report.

The Syndrome of Inappropriate Secretion of Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) or SIADH has been reported in a great variety of diseases and disorders of the central nervous system. However, to our knowledge only three cases [Kaplan et al., Decaux et al. 1981, Agus et al. 1983] of SIADH associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have been described in the literature. We report here a new case of SIADH in association with SLE.
