J Urol. 1993 Sep;150(3):978-80. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)35667-7.

Abstract

We report the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion in a 59-year-old man with stage C adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Serum antidiuretic hormone levels returned to normal following treatment with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue. To our knowledge this case represents the first in which resolution of this syndrome occurred with treatment of the carcinoma.
