Factors influencing blood pressure in salt-sensitive patients with hypertension
T Fujita, WL Henry, FC Bartter, CR Lake… - The American journal of …, 1980 - Elsevier
Eighteen patients with hypertension in whom all known causes of elevated blood pressure
levels had been ruled out were studied during a low-sodium diet for seven days, a high-
sodium diet for seven days and after the oral administration of furosemide. They were
classified as “salt-sensitive”(SS) or “nonsalt-sensitive”(NSS) from the increase in 24-hour
averages of mean blood pressure with changes in sodium intake from 9 meq to 249
meq/day (15.1±1.2 (SE) mm Hg (SS) versus 2.7±0.9 mm Hg (NSS),(p< 0.001)). With a …
