Fluid therapy for children with diarrhoea and high sodium
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a specific fluid therapy approach for children with diarrhoea and high sodium levels (hypernatremia). The goal is to safely rehydrate your child and correct the sodium imbalance, which can be life-threatening if untreated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has diarrhoea and a blood test showing high sodium (150 or more), with or without symptoms.
- Parents must agree in writing to let their child take part.
- Your child does not have a birth defect or a known genetic syndrome.
- Your child is not critically ill (for example, not in septic shock or on a breathing machine).
- Your child does not have heart failure, a blocked bowel, severe swelling from malnutrition, or very poor kidney function.

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.
This study tests a treatment approach to help children who are in “shock” (their body is struggling to maintain blood flow and oxygen) caused by diarrhea and severe undernutrition. It may help care teams stabilize children faster and improve outcomes.
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 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 study tests a new way to give fluids during sepsis in children to improve blood flow and recovery. It compares a standard saltwater solution to a plasma-based solution to see which works better.
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.
