Zusammenfassung der Studie

We are conducting this study to investigate a new treatment method for patients with low sodium levels (one of our blood salts) caused by the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIAD). A low sodium level in the blood is an important and serious condition, as sodium plays a central role in the body. Sodium is crucial for regulating water balance and the function of nerves and muscles. When sodium levels are too low, it can cause various symptoms and health problems, such as concentration issues, headaches, nausea, muscle weakness, and confusion. In severe cases, hyponatremia can even lead to seizures, disturbances of consciousness, or coma. A low sodium level is particularly relevant for patients affected by SIAD. In these patients, the body retains too much water, which further lowers the sodium level in the blood. Since this can impact health status, it is important to find new and better treatment options to stabilize sodium levels. The goal is to find an effective and more pleasant alternative to fluid restriction (current standard therapy), which may lead to a long-term improvement in treatment options for SIAD patients.

Untersuchte Intervention

Protein therapy: You will receive four small protein drinks daily, each containing 20 grams of protein. You will consume these over four days. On the fifth day (or on the day of discharge if you are discharged earlier), you will come for the final examination. Fluid restriction: You will limit your fluid intake to a maximum of 1 liter per day for four days. A final examination will also be conducted on the fifth day or your discharge day.
