Diabetes pill tested as new fix for dangerous low salt

NCT ID NCT04447911

Summary

This study is testing if a drug called empagliflozin, usually used for diabetes, can help raise low sodium levels in the blood. It will involve 172 hospitalized patients whose low sodium is linked to conditions like heart failure, liver disease, or a hormone imbalance (SIADH). Patients will receive either the drug or a placebo pill to see which one more effectively and safely corrects their sodium levels.
