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.
Who can take part
- You were born as a singleton baby (not a twin or multiple birth).
- You were born either very early (before 34 weeks) or after 36 weeks (full term).

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 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 tests whether your blood pressure is sensitive to salt intake. Researchers will provide you with controlled meals for two weeks to see how your body responds, then invite qualifying participants to continue with a personalized follow-up study.
This study looks at how different amounts of salt in your diet affect your gut bacteria and blood pressure. You may be asked to follow a special diet for a short time 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.
This study tests how a high-salt diet affects blood vessel function in women who had preeclampsia compared to those who did not. It may help understand why preeclampsia increases heart risks later in life.
