Background: The evidence base regarding the association between urinary potassium and
blood pressure (BP), or risk of hypertension, is inconsistent. Therefore, we sought to conduct …

Background Dietary sodium intake is associated with blood pressure and hypertension risk.
However, most of the studies have been conducted in whites and it is not clear whether the …

Abstract Recently, the sodium (Na)/potassium (K) ratio was reported to be associated with
blood pressure (BP). A Na/K ratio self-monitoring device using spot urine was established …

The purpose of this study was to examine the association of urinary sodium-to-creatinine
ratio and potassium-to-creatinine ratio with blood pressure in a cross-sectional study …

This study was done to clarify the optimal number and type of casual urine specimens
required to estimate urinary sodium/potassium (Na/K) ratio in individuals with high blood …

In this issue Chaudhary et al., accessed the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension
Sodium Trial (DASH-Sodium) dataset via the NHLBI and BioLINCC to obtain data on systolic …

The usefulness of whole-day, daytime (waking to retiring time) and overnight urine samples
for assessing the relationship between blood pressure and sodium intake was examined in …

Background Abundant evidence indicates that a high sodium intake is causally related to
high blood pressure, but debate over recommendations to reduce dietary sodium in the …

Studies aiming to associate the sodium/potassium (Na/K) ratio with hypertension use 24‐
hour urinary excretion as a daily marker of ingestion. The objective of this study was to …

While the association between 24-h urinary sodium and potassium excretion with blood
pressure is well established, the relationships of these ions to spot urine measurements are …
