Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed dietary salt intake and plasma renin levels in 26 patients with primary aldosteronism who were treated with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists over six months, measuring various clinical parameters pre- and post-treatment.
- - Results showed significant decreases in blood pressure and increases in potassium and active renin levels, but dietary salt intake remained unchanged; a notable inverse correlation between dietary salt intake and active renin concentration was observed.
- - The patients were split into two groups based on their active renin concentrations after treatment, revealing that those with higher renin levels (Group 1) showed improvements, while those with lower renin levels (Group 2) indicated persistent salt sensitivity issues, highlighting the relevance
