Effect of sodium intake on intraerythrocyte sodium concentration in normotensive subjects and patients with untreated mild hypertension. 1983

J B Myers, and T O Morgan, and K Edwards

The effect of changing sodium intake for 2 weeks was studied. Twelve normotensive subjects and five patients with mild essential hypertension were given two different levels of sodium intake for 2 weeks. Overall there was no significant rise in blood pressure but all patients with hypertension had a rise in blood pressure as they went from a low to a high sodium intake. Plasma sodium was not altered but red cell sodium concentration was higher on the high sodium intake. This effect was observed in both normotensive and hypertensive people. Alterations observed in cell sodium concentration provide support for the hypothesis that increased dietary intake of sodium may induce hypertension by causing changes in cellular transport systems.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
