Renal resistive index (RRI) has been associated with adverse renal and cardiovascular
outcomes. Although traditionally considered a marker of intrinsic renal damage, RRI could …

Objective: Increased urine sodium-to-potassium (Na/K) ratio is associated with hypertension
and cardiovascular disease. However, we demonstrated that urine Na/K ratio does not …

Purpose High sodium intake is an accepted risk factor for hypertension, while low Na+
intake has also been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. In this cross …

Objective To evaluate the incidence of hypertension and the rate of decline in renal function
in a sample of 47 Olivetti Heart Study (OHS) participants whose blood pressure (BP) salt …

pressure (BP). Recent Findings Both high and low sodium (Na+) intake can be associated …

BACKGROUND The association between cardiovascular health and salt intake remains
controversial. The objective of our study was to assess the association between arterial …

Background The relationships of sodium intake to kidney function within the population have
been poorly investigated and are the objective of the study. Methods This observational …

Hypothesis/introduction: The relationship between salt intake, blood pressure and RAAS
activation is still controversial, being that both high-and low-salt intakes are associated with …

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 …
