Scientists probe hormone mystery in anorexia hospital stays

NCT ID NCT05235867

Summary

This study aims to understand why some teens with severe anorexia urinate excessively when they start eating again in the hospital, which can delay recovery. Researchers will check if levels of a hormone called secretin are different in patients who have this problem compared to those who don't. They will do this by taking one extra blood sample and one extra urine sample from 10 hospitalized patients during a meal.
