Study hormones and salt sensitivity in adults born preterm
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This early-phase study looks at natural body chemicals (uric acid and klotho) and how sensitive your blood pressure may be to salt. It may help researchers understand long-term health risks in people born very early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how a kidney-related blood-pressure system works in children and teenagers, comparing those with newly diagnosed primary (no known cause) high blood pressure to those with normal blood pressure. It may help doctors better understand childhood blood-pressure changes and guide future care.
This study tests how a ketone ester plus salt affects the body in young adults. It likely looks at safety and what changes you can measure after taking it.
This trial tests whether switching to a low-sodium salt substitute can help prevent high blood pressure disorders (like preeclampsia) during pregnancy. It is for pregnant people who are at increased risk and eat most meals at home.

This study looks at how eating different amounts of salt affects the bacteria in your gut and your blood pressure. You would eat a high-salt diet for a few weeks and a low-salt diet for a few weeks to see how your body responds.
This trial looks at how salt in your diet affects blood pressure control if you already have high blood pressure (hypertension). It aims to find simple ways to help manage your condition through diet.
