Abstract
Among CKD patients, there is substantial variation in sodium intake but no predictable relationship between dietary sodium and blood pressure in individuals. The frequent dismissal of elevated blood pressure readings as related to recent sodium intake in clinic may be a misapplication of large-scale population data to explain individual variability and may contribute to clinical inertia regarding high blood pressure treatment.
