EXCESSIVE ORAL SALT INTAKE may induce high blood pressure1 and increase the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD).2 High blood pressure in CKD is generally salt-sensitive and nondipping.1 Moreover, in CKD, a high salt intake reduces the antiproteinuric effects of ACE-inhibitor treatment and elevate the risk of progressing to end-stage renal disease regardless of blood pressure management.3 A recent Cochrane Review concluded there is high certainty evidence that salt restriction reduces blood pressure in people with CKD and albuminuria, at least in the short term.
