Rapid fluid therapy for severe high sodium levels
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a faster way to give fluids to people with very high sodium levels in their blood. It aims to safely correct the imbalance, which may help you feel better sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 21 years or older.
- You must be in the emergency department, a medical ward, or the intensive care unit.
- Your sodium level must be 155 or higher.
- You must weigh between 88 and 264 pounds.
- You cannot have certain serious conditions like diabetes insipidus, recent stroke, or heart attack.

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 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 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.
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 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 trial tests if lowering the amount of salt water (sodium chloride) given as maintenance fluids or 'fluid creep' can help critically ill adults in the ICU recover better. It compares two ways of managing daily fluids to see which is safer and more effective.
