Which outcome impairs body water homeostasis when antidiuretic hormone decreases?

💡 Explanation

Reduced ADH decreases aquaporins in the collecting duct, triggering increased water excretion because osmosis occurs less effectively to reabsorb water back into the blood; therefore, water retention suffers greatly, rather than altered electrolyte balance directly.
