b. SIADH (Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone secretion): This is a condition where the body makes too much antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This hormone helps the kidneys control the amount of water your body loses through the urine. With SIADH, your body retains water, leading to a decrease in urine production but an increase in urine concentration, thus increasing the specific gravity.

c. Diabetes insipidus: This is a condition where your kidneys remove too much fluid from your body, leading to a large amount of dilute
