U.S., April 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06930300) titled 'Vasopressin in the Elderly: Physiological Changes in Neuroendocrine Function and Urinary Secretion in Healthy Aging' on March 25.
Brief Summary: Elderly people are at a high risk for disturbances in water homeostasis, with both hypo- and hypernatremia being more common with increasing age. Several changes in the physiology of the ageing body are responsible for this predisposition towards hypo- and hypernatremia, including diminished thirst perception, decreasing kidney function, and altered body composition. In addition, age-related changes in AVP secretion have been suggested, but findings remain inconclusive. Possibly, this cont...
