Salt-Sensitive blood pressure: new study probes kidney secrets
NCT ID NCT05369416
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the kidneys work differently in people whose blood pressure is sensitive to salt. Researchers will measure kidney oxygen levels and chemical changes in 70 adults with mild high blood pressure after low- and high-salt diets. The goal is to find new ways to diagnose and treat salt-sensitive hypertension.
