Salt sensitive essential hypertension evaluated by 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure.

摘要: Thirty men with essential hypertension were examined at three different levels of sodium intake, containing 135, 44 and 290 mmol per day, respectively. Ten patients who increased their 24 hour mean ambulatory blood pressure 10% or more when going from low to high intake defined as salt sensitive, the others resistant. The casual measurements partly sensitive. In multiple regression analysis, sensitivity was associated an increase in diuresis during demonstrating a dissociation between water excretion depletion sensitive group. change repletion positively correlated atrial natriuretic peptide (p < 0.01), inversely plasma concentration after 0.01).
