Clinical application of the second morning urine method for estimating salt intake in patients with hypertension.

Estimation of salt intake by cumbersome 24-h urine collection is not suitable for individual patients because of substantial daily variation in intake. We developed the second morning urine (SMU) method for monitoring daily salt intake in healthy subjects by calculating the daily creatinine excretion and measuring the ratio of sodium to creatinine in the SMU specimen. To determine whether the SMU method was applicable to hypertensive patients, we tested it in hospitalized patients under an equilibrated sodium balance as a model population.

A 6-month, twice-a-week exercise program emphasizing swimming was conducted for 11 men (57-73 years) and 24 women (51-68 years). The control group comprised 11 male (59-70 years) and 11 female (53-70) volunteers. The exercise program significantly improved the systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP) and lipid and glucose metabolism, with no change in the controls.

We investigated the mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of less-sodium soy sauce containing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). When SHRs were given a diet with less-sodium soy sauce containing GABA (GABA-rich soy sauce group) for 6 weeks, the systolic blood pressure decreased as compared with that in rats fed diets with less-sodium soy sauce or a solution of salt. Renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and positive Na balance were reduced, and the urinary Na excretion tended to increase in the GABA-rich soy sauce group.

We report on an interesting case of longevity in an elderly Japanese woman whose blood pressure (BP) continued extremely high from her first recording at the age of 38 years to her first hospitalization at the age of 81. BP recordings taken by her physician indicated mostly severe or occasionally mild hypertension (HT): between 260/130 and 140/76 mmHg. No antihypertensive drugs were taken during the 25 year span between ages 56 and 80.
