Hyperhydration in Children With Shiga Toxin-Producing E. Coli Infection

Study on extra hydration for kids with E. Coli infection.

Recruiting
9-21 years
All
Phase N/A

This study explores if giving large amounts of fluids through an IV (hyperhydration) can help children with a specific E. coli infection. This type of infection can cause severe problems in the kidneys, called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS). HUS can lead to kidney failure, needing treatment like dialysis, and other serious health issues. In the past, doctors usually used a method that didn’t involve much fluid (conservative fluid management). However, some recent studies suggest that giving fluids early might protect the kidneys better. This study will compare the two methods to see which one works best to prevent kidney problems.

  • The study involves several visits to the clinic for monitoring.
  • Participants may receive compensation for their time and travel.
  • There might be risks related to fluid overload, which will be closely monitored.

To join, children must be between 9 months and 21 years old and have a specific type of E. coli infection. They should not have severe kidney issues or other serious health conditions. The study aims to improve the care and outcomes for children with these infections.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
