Answer:

d. Hormone replacement therapy can replace ADH to help the kidneys retain water and stop excessive urination

Step-by-step explanation:

Central diabetes insipidus.

Typically, this form is treated with a synthetic hormone called desmopressin (DDAVP, Nocdurna). This medication replaces the missing anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) and decreases urination. You can take desmopressin in a tablet, as a nasal spray or by injection
