Abstract
Interactions between sodium intake, the renin angiotensin system and renal and cardiovascular outcomes are incompletely understood. Lambers Heerspink et al's analysis shows that angiotensin receptor blockade (ARB) improves diabetic nephropathy and cardiovascular disease more when dietary sodium intake is low and suggests possible harm when sodium intake is high. These findings highlight dietary salt as a modifiable cardiovascular and renal risk factor and emphasize the need for need for detailed mechanistic studies.
