NCT05165823

Brief Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial with 72 patients with hypertension examining the effects on blood pressure of sodium restriction and whether the blood analysis Salt-blood test is associated to a decrease in blood pressure. Patients will be randomized 2:1 to either sodium restriction or usual diet for 4 weeks. Baseline measures will be done before intervention and outcome measures after the 4 weeks.
