Summary

There is much evidence that a reduction in dietary salt intake lowers blood pressure in hypertensive individuals, however few have looked at effect of 'no added salt diet' and modest salt intake on total restriction of sodium intake with especial attention to very exact surrogate of urinary sodium excretion. Our study demonstrates that a modest reduction in salt intake from regular level of 10 - 12 g per day to the recommended level of 5 - 6 g per day lowers blood pressure by 12.1/ 6.8 mmHg at day time and 11.1/5.9 mmhg at night time.However only 35% of patients reach to the goal of sodium restriction of diet(below 100 meq/dl in 24 hours urine.It means even modest salt restriction can dramatically decrease blood pressure with no added salt diet.
