| Abstract;In order to clarify the relationship in the title, 534 outpatients with hypertension were divided into the group aware of salt restriction (A group) and the group not aware of salt restriction (B group) and excretion amount of salt in collected urine over 24 hours was compared. As the result, the excretion amount of salt in urine was within a wide range of 1.5 to 23.4 g/day, and the mean value was 9.7.+-.3.9g/day. The excretion amount of salt in urine was significantly lower in A group than in B group. But after the excretion amount in urine was corrected relative to the body weight, this significant difference disappeared. From the above, it became clear that the actual salt intake was not decreased in the hypertensive patient who was aware of the necessity of salt restriction. Ant it seemed to tell the patient the observations in the collected urine over 24 hours and promote the achievement of salt restriction. |
