Saline infusion test for low sodium
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your blood sodium level must be between 120 and 130 mmol/L (moderately low).
- You must be over 18 years old.
- You cannot be in the intensive care unit.
- You cannot have severe kidney disease (stage 4 or 5).
- You cannot have severe heart failure or large amounts of fluid in your belly.
- You cannot have adrenal gland problems or be on strong salt water therapy.

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 study looks at how the body handles salt (sodium) in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. If you join, researchers will test how your body responds to changes in fluids and salt levels.
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.
This observational study measures how body fluid and electrolytes change in adults with low blood sodium caused by low “tonicity” (not diluted by high sugar or other causes). It may help clinicians better understand which treatment approaches keep sodium levels safer and more stable.
This is a retrospective study (meaning researchers look back at medical records) of patients who had very low sodium levels in their blood when admitted to the hospital. Researchers want to understand the link between how quickly doctors correct low sodium and a rare brain condition called osmotic demyelination syndrome.
This study looks at new ways to quickly check how well low sodium (caused by a common water pill called thiazide) is being treated in the hospital. If you have low sodium and take a thiazide pill, this trial may help doctors find better treatment methods.
