AbstractThe direction and magnitude of the association between sodium and potassium excretion and blood pressure (BP) may differ depending on the characteristics of the study participant or the intake assessment method. Our objective was to assess the relationship between BP, hypertension and 24-h urinary sodium and potassium excretion among Chinese adults. A total of 1424 provincially representative Chinese residents aged 18 to 69 years participated in a cross-sectional survey in 2017 that included demographic data, physical measurements and 24-h urine collection. In this study, the average 24-h urinary sodium and potassium excretion and sodium-to-potassium ratio were 3811.4 mg/day, 1449.3 mg/day, and 4.9, respectively. After multivariable adjustment, each 1000 mg difference in 24-h urinary sodium excretion was significantly associated with systolic BP (0.64 mm Hg; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.05–1.24) and diastolic BP (0.45 mm Hg; 95% CI 0.08–0.81), and each 1000 mg difference in 24-h urinary potassium excretion was inversely associated with systolic BP (− 3.07 mm Hg; 95% CI − 4.57 to − 1.57) and diastolic BP (− 0.94 mm Hg; 95% CI − 1.87 to − 0.02). The sodium-to-potassium ratio was significantly associated with systolic BP (0.78 mm Hg; 95% CI 0.42–1.13) and diastolic BP (0.31 mm Hg; 95% CI 0.10–0.53) per 1-unit increase. These associations were mainly driven by the hypertensive group. Those with a sodium intake above about 4900 mg/24 h or with a potassium intake below about 1000 mg/24 h had a higher risk of hypertension. At higher but not lower levels of 24-h urinary sodium excretion, potassium can better blunt the sodium-BP relationship. The adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of hypertension in the highest quartile compared with the lowest quartile of excretion were 0.54 (95% CI 0.35–0.84) for potassium and 1.71 (95% CI 1.16–2.51) for the sodium-to-potassium ratio, while the corresponding OR for sodium was not significant (OR, 1.28; 95% CI 0.83–1.98). Our results showed that the sodium intake was significantly associated with BP among hypertensive patients and the inverse association between potassium intake and BP was stronger and involved a larger fraction of the population, especially those with a potassium intake below 1000 mg/24 h should probably increase their potassium intake.

Abstract Urinary sodium excretion is a potential risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, the underlying biological mechanisms and effects of salt sensitivity are unclear. The purpose of this study was to characterize the relative contribution of biological factors to the sodium-CVD association. A total of 2112 participants were enrolled in this study. Structured questionnaires and blood and urine samples were obtained. Twenty-four-hour sodium excretion was estimated using a single overnight urine sample. Hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and overweight status were considered to indicate salt sensitivity. Cox proportional hazard models were used to investigate the effects of salt sensitivity on urinary sodium excretion and CVD risk. The traditional mediation approach was used to calculate the proportion of mediation. The mean age (standard deviation) of the 2112 participants was 54.5 (12.2) years, and they were followed up for a mean of 14.1 [8.1] years. Compared with those in the lowest quartile, the highest baseline urinary sodium excretion (>4.2g/24 hours) was associated with a 43% higher CVD risk (hazard ratio, 1.43; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.99). Participants with high urinary sodium excretion, hypertension, or metabolic syndrome had a significantly high risk of CVD. The carotid intima-media thickness had the largest mediating effect (accounting for 35% of the sodium-CVD association), followed by systolic blood pressure (33%), left ventricular mass (28%), and diastolic blood pressure (14%). Higher urinary sodium excretion increased the risk of CVD, which was explained largely by carotid media-thickness and systolic blood pressure.

We and others have previously shown that high levels of ANG II are accumulated in the rat kidney via a type 1 (AT1) receptor-mediated mechanism, but it is not known which AT1 receptor is involved in this process in rodents. We tested the hypothesis that AT1a receptor-deficient mice (Agtr1a−/−) are unable to accumulate ANG II intracellularly in the kidney because of the absence of AT1a receptor-mediated endocytosis. Adult male wild-type (Agtr1a+/+), heterozygous (Agtr1a+/−), and Agtr1a−/− were treated with vehicle, ANG II (40 ng/min ip via osmotic minipump), or ANG II plus the AT1 antagonist losartan (10 mg·kg−1·day−1 po) for 2 wk. In wild-type mice, ANG II induced hypertension (168 ± 4 vs. 113 ± 3 mmHg, P < 0.001), increased kidney-to-body weight ratio ( P < 0.01), caused pressure natriuresis ( P < 0.05), and elevated plasma and whole kidney ANG II levels ( P < 0.001). Concurrent administration of ANG II with losartan attenuated these responses to ANG II. In contrast, Agtr1a−/− mice had lower basal systolic pressures ( P < 0.001), smaller kidneys with much fewer AT1b receptors ( P < 0.001), higher basal 24-h urinary sodium excretion ( P < 0.01), as well as basal plasma and whole kidney ANG II levels ( P < 0.01). However, intracellular ANG II levels in the kidney were lower in Agtr1a−/− mice. In Agtr1a−/− mice, ANG II slightly increased systolic pressure ( P < 0.05) but had no effect on the kidney weight, urinary sodium excretion, and whole kidney ANG II levels. Losartan restored systolic pressure to basal levels and decreased whole kidney ANG II levels by ∼20% ( P < 0.05). These results demonstrate a predominant role of AT1a receptors in blood pressure regulation and in the renal responses to long-term ANG II administration, that AT1b receptors may play a limited role in blood pressure control and mediating intrarenal ANG II accumulation in the absence of AT1a receptors.

Infusion Regimen

The existence of urinary excretion rhythms in dogs, which is a matter of controversy, was investigated under strictly controlled intake and environmental conditions. In seven conscious dogs, 14.5 mmol Na, 3.55 mmol K, and 91 ml H2O.kg body wt-1.24 h-1 were either administered with food at 8:30 A.M. or were continuously infused at 2 consecutive days. During these 3 days, automatized 20-min urine collections, mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), and heart rate (HR) recordings were performed without disturbing the dogs. Fundamental and partial periodicities, the noise component of urinary sodium excretion (UNaV), MABP, and HR were analyzed using a method derived from Fourier and Cosinor analysis. Oral intake (OI) leads to powerful 24-h periodicities in all dogs and seems to synchronize UNaV. UNaV on OI peaked between 1 and 3 P.M. Under the infusion regimen, signs of nonstationary rhythms and desynchronization predominated. UNaV under the infusion regimen could be separated into two components: a rather constant component continuously excreted and superimposed to this an oscillating component. No direct coupling between UNaV and MABP periodicities could be demonstrated. On OI, an increase in HR seems to advance the peak UNaV in the postprandial period. HR and MABP signals were both superimposed with noise. We conclude that UNaV rhythms are present in dogs. They are considerably more pronounced on OI.

1. The effects of intravenous injection of Fab fragments of anti-digoxin IgG (Digibind) on the changes in blood pressure, urine volume and urinary sodium excretion after intracerebroventricular infusion of artificial cerebrospinal fluid with normal or high sodium concentration were examined in anaesthetized rats. 2. The biological efficacy of Digibind was confirmed by experiments in vitro and in vivo, which showed that pre-treatment with Digibind completely abolished or significantly attenuated the aortic contractile response or pressor response to digoxin in guinea-pigs. 3. Infusion of high-sodium cerebrospinal fluid, but not normal-sodium cerebrospinal fluid, into the lateral brain ventricle of rats caused marked increases in blood pressure, urine volume and urinary sodium excretion. 4. Digibind did not significantly affect the increases in blood pressure, urine volume and urinary sodium excretion caused by intracerebroventricular infusion of high-sodium cerebrospinal fluid. 5. Digoxin-like immunoreactive factor may play a minor role, if any, in central nervous system-induced natriuresis in rats.

Observations have been made regarding the effects of long-term exercise training on blood pressure, renal sodium handling and renal renin–angiotensin–aldosterone (RAS) intracellular pathways in conscious, trained Okamoto–Aoki spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar Kyoto (WKy) normotensive rats, compared with appropriate age-matched sedentary SHR and WKy. To evaluate the influence of exercise training on renal function and RAS, receptors and intracellular angiotensin II (AngII) pathway compounds were used respectively, and lithium clearance and western blot methods were utilised. The current study demonstrated that increased blood pressure in SHR was blunted and significantly reduced by long-term swim training between the ages of 6 and 16 weeks. Additionally, the investigators observed an increased fractional urinary sodium excretion in trained SHR (SHRT) rats, compared with sedentary SHR (SHRS), despite a significantly decreased creatinine clearance (CCr). Furthermore, immunoblotting analysis demonstrated a decreased expression of AT1R in the entire kidney of TSHR rats, compared with SSHR. Conversely, the expression of the AT2R, in both sedentary and trained SHR, was unchanged. The present study may indicate that, in the kidney, long-term exercise exerts a modulating effect on AngII receptor expression. In fact, the present study indicates an association of increasing natriuresis, reciprocal changes in renal AngII receptors and intracellular pathway proteins with the fall in blood pressure levels observed in TSHR rats compared with age-matched SSHR rats.

Abstract Background Randomised control trials have demonstrated direct positive and causal associations of 24-hr measurements of urinary sodium excretion on blood pressure. However, prospective studies, which often used spot (not 24-hr) measurements of urinary sodium, have reported J-shaped associations with higher risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) at sodium intake &lt;4 g/day. The reasons for the discrepant results are not fully understood, but have prompted some to question the World Health Organisation's recommendations to restrict sodium intake to &lt;2.3g/day. Purpose We examined the effects of within-person variability in spot urinary sodium (UNa) measurements on immediate and delayed associations of UNa with blood pressure at baseline and at resurvey, and with incident cardiovascular disease in the UK Biobank (UKB). Methods Baseline spot urine samples were measured in 502,619 adults at baseline and in 20,346 participants who were resurveyed at 4 years after baseline. Linear regression was used to assess associations of baseline UNa measurements with systolic blood pressure (SBP; mmHg) at baseline and at resurvey. Cox regression was used estimate the associations between baseline measures of UNa with incident CVD events (recorded from linkage with hospital records). All analyses were adjusted for confounders and corrected for regression dilution bias. Results After excluding participants with prevalent diseases, the primary analyses involved 386,060 adults who were followed-up for a median of 7.8 years, during which ∼13,000 CVD events occurred. Estimated mean (SD) urinary sodium excretion was 77.4 mmol/L (SD 44.4, IQR = 42.8–103.7 mmol/L), and mean SBP/DBP were 137.5/82.3 (SD 18.5/10.1) mmHg, respectively. Within-person variability in UNa was high, with a self-correlation of 0.35 at 4 years between measurements. After adjustment for confounders and correction for regression dilution bias, a 100 mmol/L higher UNa was associated with an immediate 3.2 mmHg higher SBP (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.8–3.6) in cross-sectional analyses (Figure 1). However, the corresponding associations of baseline UNa with SBP at resurvey was completely attenuated (p=0.20). The predicted risk of CVD was 1.06 (95% CI 1.06–1.07, p&lt;0.001) for a 3.2 mmHg higher SBP, but the observed risk for a 100 mmol/L higher UNa was 0.95 (95% CI 0.82–1.10, p=0.47) (Figure 1). Conclusions While spot measurements of UNa were strongly associated with immediate effects on SBP, the magnitude of within-person variability in UNa precluded detection of associations with SBP several years after baseline or with risk of CVD. The extreme within-person variability in spot UNa may explain the discrepant results of the trials and observational studies of sodium and blood pressure. Figure 1.
