Hormones and metabolism test in patients at risk of refeeding syndrome
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies how your body's hormones and metabolism change after eating a test meal. It may help doctors understand refeeding syndrome and find better ways to treat patients who haven't been eating enough.

This study looks at how your body responds to a mixed meal (a test drink or meal) when the calories are either fixed or adjusted to your energy needs. It may help researchers understand how to measure metabolism more accurately.
This study tests whether a specific diet can help people with anorexia nervosa stay well and avoid relapse after weight restoration. It focuses on “metabolic” (energy and blood sugar-related) effects, checked with blood work and regular visits.
This natural history study follows people to understand how metabolism and body composition vary in health and disease. It may help researchers better measure metabolic changes and understand who is at risk as health and treatments change.
