C
Rationale: Demeclocycline blocks the action of ADH on the renal tubules and increases urine output. A stable body weight and an increase in urine specific gravity indicate that the SIADH is not corrected. Peripheral edema does not occur with SIADH; a sudden weight gain without edema is a common clinical manifestation of this disorder.
