Clinical Trial: Effect of Protein Supplementation and Fluid Restriction on Plasma Sodium Levels in Patients Undergoing Pituitary Surgery

U.S., Dec. 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07273630) titled 'Effect of Protein Supplementation and Fluid Restriction on Plasma Sodium Levels in Patients Undergoing Pituitary Surgery' on Nov. 14.

Brief Summary: The investigators are conducting this study to investigate new preventive measures for patients with low sodium levels (hyponatremia), which can occur after surgery on the pituitary gland. This hyponatremia is often caused by the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD). SIAD occurs when the pituitary gland secretes too much antidiuretic hormone. The antidiuretic hormone causes the kidneys to absorb more water. This dilutes the sodium in the blood and leads to hyponatremia. Low sod...
