Summary

This study tests whether empagliflozin, a diabetes drug, can safely raise low sodium levels in patients with certain conditions like liver or kidney failure. About 172 adults with chronic low sodium will receive either the drug or a placebo for a short period. The goal is to see if the drug works better than current treatments like fluid restriction.
