Summary
This study looks at how the kidneys handle salt in people with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) compared to healthy volunteers. Researchers will give a liter of salt water through an IV and measure how much sodium comes out in urine. The goal is to understand if salt regulation problems contribute to POTS symptoms.

If successful, this study could help explain why people with POTS have trouble regulating salt, potentially pointing toward better management strategies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 30 participants. It is not testing a treatment, so it will not directly lead to a new therapy.
