Purpose: To examine health beliefs related to salt-restricted diet, to investigate their associations with demographic/disease-related characteristics and family support, and to determine the need for tailored interventions in Turkish patients on hemodialysis.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 patients on hemodialysis. Data were collected through an information form, the Perceived Social Support from Family Scale and the Beliefs about Dietary Compliance Scale, including two subscales: perceived benefits and barriers. Descriptive statistics, Student's t test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and linear regression analysis were used for data analysis.
Results: The item mean perceived benefit score was higher than the item mean perceived barrier score. Limiting salt intake, family support, and the presence of residual urine output were associated with health beliefs.
Conclusions/implications: The likelihood of adherence to salt-restricted diet was high. A better understanding of health beliefs about salt-restricted diet and their related factors may facilitate the implementation of tailored interventions.

Background: Salt restriction is a fundamental principle in the non-pharmacological management of hypertension. The World Health Organization recommends a daily sodium intake of less than 2 g/day. In East African countries, particularly Rwanda, there is a known prevalence of low sodium intake, with a mean sodium intake of 1.

Liddle syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by early onset hypertension, hypokalemia, and low plasma aldosterone or renin concentration. It is caused by mutations in subunits of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). The clinical phenotypes of LS are variable and nonspecific, making it prone to both misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Epithelial Na channels (ENaCs) are activated by proteolysis of the α and γ subunits at specific sites flanking embedded inhibitory tracts. To examine the role of α subunit proteolysis in channel activation in vivo, we generated mice lacking the distal furin cleavage site in the α subunit (α mice). On a normal Na control diet, no differences in ENaC protein abundance in kidney or distal colon were noted between wild-type (WT) and α mice.

Objective: To evaluate the quality of evidence, potential biases, and validity of all available studies on dietary intervention and diabetic nephropathy (DN).
Methods: We conducted an umbrella review of existing meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that focused on the effects of dietary intervention on DN incidence. The literature was searched via PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.
Iodine Deficiency and Iodine Prophylaxis: An Overview and Update.

The thyroid gland requires iodine to synthesize thyroid hormones, and iodine deficiency results in the inadequate production of thyroxine and related thyroid, metabolic, developmental, and reproductive disorders. Iodine requirements are higher in infants, children, and during pregnancy and lactation than in adult men and non-pregnant women. Iodine is available in a wide range of foods and water and is susceptible to almost complete gastric and duodenal absorption as an iodide ion.
