For a doctor who specializes in this topic, click here. Posterior Pituitary Disorders The posterior (back) lobe of the pituitary gland releases ADH (antidiuretic hormone) and oxytocin (a hormone to contract the uterus during childbirth and stimulate milk production). Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which is also called vasopressin, helps the kidneys (and body) conserve the right amount of water. For example, when a person becomes dehydrated, more ADH is produced to help the body conserve the water it contains. Lack of ADH leads to too much excretion of water (diabetes insipidus), and too much ADH leads to excessive retention of water by the body (syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion).

PHYSIOLOGIC AND ANATOMIC CHANGES OF THE PITUITARY CHANGES IN PITUITARY, PHYSIOLOGY IN NORMAL PREGNANCY
The normal physiologic changes in pituitary hormone concentrations in pregnancy mean that it is very difficult to diagnose pituitary hyper-secretion or hypo-secretion during pregnancy. Confirmation therefore has to wait until the postpartum period. The results of dynamic pituitary function testing (eg. Triple bolus testing) in pregnancy are very difficult to interpret, as no standard exists. (See Table 1) Table 1. Normal Pituitary Function Changes in Pregnancy
