The introductory statement presents malignancies as the principal cause of SIADH, which is not only incorrect but deeply damaging as it has most likely alarmed many patients with SIADH. The etiology of SIADH is not completely understood and often considered to be idiopathic. However, we do know what risk factors for the development of the syndrome are and while malignancies including small cell lung carcinoma are risk factors, they are very rare. More common risk factors include medications (SSRIs, amiodarone and NSAIDs among others), age greater than 50, pneumonia and disorders of the central nervous system. To lead readers to believe malignancies are the likely underlying cause for an issue that is usually the result of relatively benign problem is incredibly irresponsible. I hope that this article is corrected soon, and I hope the author checks the veracity of his/her information in the future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.200.128.74 (talk) 05:05, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

this is very common condition in routine clinical medicine. but findthe cuse is big chanllange.
Isn't the correct name "syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion"? --CopperKettle 05:36, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
I agree. This needs to be changed. If it has indeed been changed recently to "hypersecretion" from "secretion" this calls for a note. Pradyumna k m (talk) 14:52, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
File:A 69-Year-Old Female with Tiredness and a Persistent Tan 01.png and File:A 69-Year-Old Female with Tiredness and a Persistent Tan 02.png -- but I'm not sure whether it is Addison's disease or SIADH. Have not read the article thoroughly. Use at your discretion. --CopperKettle 05:50, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
This is a syndrome characterized by excessive release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH or vasopressin) from the posterior pituitary gland or another source. The result is hyponatremia.
Please correct the hyponatremia to hypernatremia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yama fakhri (talk • contribs) 21:36, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
I thought the core differentiating feature between SIADH and increased secretion of ADH due to other causes (CHF, cirrhosis, and nephrotic syndrome) was that in SIADH euvolemia is maintained while in the latter hypervolemia is seen.

I don't have the source handy, so I can't edit the article right now. But, there is increasing awareness of the dangers of hyponatremia due to excess intake of fluids among marathon, triathlon and other endurance athletes. SIADH has been a factor in some cases of fatal exercise-associated hyponatremic hydroencephalapathy. SlowJog (talk) 19:59, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
Does SIADH cause euvolemic hyponatremia or hypervolemic hyponatremia? Or both?--Sav_vas (talk) 20:18, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
It would be nice if someone could translate this German differential diagnosis table and add it in the English article — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sav vas (talk • contribs) 20:20, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
The section on treatment gives Demeclocycline a bad press. The claim that it causes nephrogenic DI in 70% of patients - surely that's not a side effect, but the treatment effect! i.e. it's desirable in the context of siADH? Reads like an ad for the Vaptans, really.

I have completed a revision of the Lead. It now has 4 paragraphs comprised of 3, 6, 1, and 2 sentences, respectively. Please judge it for clarity, organization, accuracy and readability. Regards - IiKkEe (talk) 22:34, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
User:IiKkEe - this article is all sourced from very old refs and it all needs updating. The "types" thing yes has a root in the 2007 ref but type C is completely inaccurate. Please start using the talk page. Jytdog (talk) 22:59, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
The sourcing on this article is very outdated. Am in the process of finding new refs and reading them to update this whole thing, and turn it more into prose. Jytdog (talk) 01:10, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
