Introduction: Subclinical kidney dysfunction may contribute to salt-sensitive hypertension.
We assessed the association between the urinary sodium-potassium ratio (Na/K ratio) and …

Results Mean age was 43±10 years, 56% of participants were women, and 52% were
African American. BP was higher in African Americans than in non–African Americans …

Background: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing worldwide in
part due to population ageing. Identifying risk factors for age-related kidney function decline …

BACKGROUND: Nutritional factors play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure
and in the development of hypertension. In this analysis, we explored the associations of 24 …

Introduction In the general population, urinary sodium-to-potassium (uNa/K) ratio associates
more strongly with high blood pressure (BP) than either urinary sodium or potassium alone …

A higher urinary sodium-to-potassium (UNa/K) ratio has been reported to be associated with
high blood pressure and subsequent cardiovascular events. However, the association …

Objective: No studies have demonstrated the association between urinary sodium-to-
potassium (Na/K) ratio and all out-of-office blood pressure (BP)[home morning and evening …

Hypertension is an important modifiable risk factor for renal and cardiovascular disease and
is reportedly associated with higher levels of sodium intake. New studies published in the …

The Na/K ratio may be more strongly related to blood pressure and cardiovascular disease
than sodium or potassium. The casual urine Na/K ratio can provide prompt on-site feedback …

Previous studies have reported a positive association between the urinary sodium-to-
potassium (Na/K) ratio and hypertension, and multiple measurements of the casual urinary …
