JRCT ID: jRCTs031240258

Registered date:06/08/2024

Basic Information

• Recruitment status: Recruiting
• Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied: Nonfunctioning pituitary neuroendcrine tumor
• Date of first enrollment: 06/08/2024
• Target sample size: 50
• Study type: Interventional

Outcome(s)

• Primary Outcome: Incidence and safety evaluation of hypernatremia, hypertension, and renal dysfunction associated with salt loading (1.8 g/day, 5 days)
• Secondary Outcome: Frequency, timing, and grade of hyponatremia on postoperative days 3 through 7, and evaluation of risk factors for the development of hyponatremia.
