Salt sensitivity-definition, prevalence and pathophysiology

摘要：

The term salt-sensitivity is difficult to define in humans. An accepted method of assessing salt sensitivity was proposed by Weinberger et al.. which is based on the difference between the blood pressure after 7 days sodium depletion with a low NaCl diet (10 mmol / d) plus furosemide, followed by 2L saline infusion. Salt-sensitivity was defined as a difference of ≥ 10 mmHg between salt-depleted and salt-loaded states. Using these criteria, 73％ of African-Americans with hypertension, and 56％ of Caucasian hypertensive patients, were salt-sensitive. About one third of normotensive subjects under investigation were salt-sensitive.
