This observational study is looking at how the hormone secretin might be involved in anorexia nervosa, specifically in teenagers and young adults aged 13 to 24. Researchers want to see if secretin levels are different in patients with anorexia who urinate a lot compared to those who urinate normal amounts. This is important because excessive urination and changes in how the body handles acid and base can make hospital stays longer for these patients. To participate, you would have one extra blood draw before and after a meal, and one extra urine sample after the meal, all while you are already in the hospital for nutritional support. The study is currently unclear on its status and plans to enroll 10 participants.
