Summary
This study looked at whether eating less salt can reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and decrease sodium levels in the skin of people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Researchers measured changes using MRI and disease activity scores in 18 adults with stable, moderate RA. The goal was to understand the link between salt and RA symptoms, not to test a new treatment.
