Graves' disease is an immune system disorder that results in the overproduction of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism). The hypothalamus sends a message to the pituitary gland which releases ADH. This travels in the blood to kidneys and affects the tubules so more water is reabsorbed into your blood. As a result, a smaller volume of more concentrated urine is produced. ADH reduces the amount of urine production.
