Salt and mineral imbalance in young children with digestive problems
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how stomach and digestive problems affect salt and mineral levels (electrolytes) in infants and young children. It aims to identify and manage these imbalances to improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children must be between 1 month and 4 years old.
- They need to be admitted to the gastroenterology unit with a stomach or digestive condition.
- No known kidney disease that affects salt and mineral balance.
- No hormonal disorders that affect salt and mineral balance (like adrenal insufficiency).
- Not taking medications that alter salt and mineral levels (like diuretics or steroids).
- Electrolyte problems must be due to the digestive issue, not other critical illness.

This study looks at whether abnormal electrolyte levels (salts and minerals in the blood) on the first day in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) can help predict how well a child will do. It aims to find early warning signs that might improve care for very sick children.
This study looks at babies who lose too much salt (hyponatremia) due to hormone problems in the first two months of life. It aims to learn more about conditions other than the common one (21-hydroxylase deficiency).
This study looks at how well children with a condition called environmental enteropathy dysfunction (a gut problem that can cause poor growth) absorb essential amino acids from their food. The goal is to understand if their body can use the protein they eat, which may help improve their growth and health.
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 study is testing a new nutritional drink or powder to see if children like it, tolerate it well, and can stick with it. It replaces your child's current supplement with a new one, and researchers will check how it affects their digestion and overall health.
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.
