DDAVP to prevent sodium overcorrection in severe low sodium
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a medication called DDAVP to prevent the sodium level from rising too quickly when treating severe low sodium in ICU patients. It is for those with dangerously low sodium and neurological symptoms, but without certain other medical conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are currently in the ICU.
- You have severely low sodium with symptoms like seizures, confusion, or very low sodium levels (<115).
- You do not have certain heart, liver, or kidney conditions that cause fluid retention.

This trial tests if a protein supplement can help patients with low sodium caused by a condition called SIAD. If you have SIAD and low sodium, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a saltwater infusion can help diagnose the cause of low sodium in your blood. It may help find the right treatment for your condition.
This study tests whether a protein supplement combined with drinking less fluid can help keep sodium levels stable after pituitary surgery. It is designed for patients who are at risk of sodium imbalances after their operation.
This trial tests if lowering the amount of salt water (sodium chloride) given as maintenance fluids or 'fluid creep' can help critically ill adults in the ICU recover better. It compares two ways of managing daily fluids to see which is safer and more effective.
This study tests a faster way to give fluids to people with very high sodium levels in their blood. It aims to safely correct the imbalance, which may help you feel better sooner.
This trial tests whether urea can help treat dangerously low sodium levels in patients with SIAD (a condition where the body retains too much water) who haven't responded to drinking less fluid. Urea is a naturally occurring substance that may help restore normal sodium balance.
