Salt detective: new quiz tracks hidden sodium in hospital patients
NCT ID NCT05533645
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new food questionnaire called EvalSel to see how well it measures salt intake in hospitalized patients with high blood pressure or kidney problems. Researchers will compare the questionnaire results with a 24-hour urine test, which is the gold standard for measuring sodium. If accurate, the tool could help doctors quickly spot dietary mistakes and refer patients to dietitians for better care.
