Electrolyte imbalance in infants with gut diseases
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at electrolyte levels in infants and young children (1 month to 4 years) admitted to the hospital for a gastrointestinal disease. It aims to help doctors better monitor and manage mineral imbalances in these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 month and 4 years old.
- Your child has a gastrointestinal disease and is admitted to the hospital's gastroenterology unit.
- Your child does not have kidney disease, adrenal insufficiency, or other hormonal problems.
- Your child is not currently taking medications like diuretics or steroids that affect electrolyte balance.
- Your child's electrolyte disturbance is not due to a critical non-gastrointestinal condition.

This study looks at whether blood electrolyte levels (like sodium and potassium) early in a child's stay in the Pediatric ICU can help predict how well they will do. It aims to understand if these simple tests can give doctors useful information about the child's outlook.
This study looks at how common stomach and gut issues are in babies who were born early or had problems at birth, and how these issues change over time.
This study looks at how common anemia (low iron levels) is in children with acute gastroenteritis (stomach bug), and how their growth is affected. It helps doctors understand if more blood tests or growth checks are needed.
This study compares two types of IV fluids commonly used to rehydrate young children with gastroenteritis (stomach flu with diarrhea and vomiting). Researchers want to see which fluid works better and causes fewer problems.
This study looks at stomach and bowel problems that happen to children in the intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to understand these issues better so doctors can help children recover.
This study looks at chloride levels in preterm babies admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) within their first day of life. It aims to understand chloride imbalance and how it might affect their health.
