Rapid fluid replacement for very high blood sodium
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a fast method of giving fluids by IV to quickly correct very high blood sodium levels. The goal is to restore balance safely without causing complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 21 years old or older.
- You must be in the emergency room, a medical ward, or intensive care unit.

- Your weight must be between about 88 and 265 pounds.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You cannot have certain serious conditions like recent heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure.

This study tests a new way to manage sodium (salt) for people on peritoneal dialysis. It aims to see if reducing sodium intake without water can help control blood pressure and improve health.
This study tests a simple procedure called a saline infusion test, where you get a mild saltwater solution through an IV, to see how well your body handles low sodium. Your sodium levels will be monitored to understand why your sodium is low and help guide your treatment.
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 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 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 trial tests a treatment to help remove extra fluid from the body when the heart is too weak to pump effectively. It may help people in intensive care who have fluid buildup and are at risk of kidney problems.
