How does increased plasma levels of antidiuretic hormone effect blood pressure?
In a nutshell, Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes the kidneys to retain water instead of excreting it. In your case, because the amount of ADH is increased, the amount of water retained in the body is also increased. The increased water enters blood vessels and increases blood pressure. (Like water in a pipe~more fluid=more pressure) Hope this helped!
