High-salt intake can promote kidney function decline in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a study by Chinese researchers. They revealed that the effects of salt consumption on the kidneys are mediated at least in part by brain-kidney interactions. The findings suggest new strategies for protecting the kidney health of patients. While it's known that salt intake can contribute to the progression of CKD, the mechanisms involved are unclear. ...Friday, 30 January 2015
Targeting the Brain-kidney Interactions Reduces Salt-Induced Kidney Scarring
High-salt intake can promote kidney function decline in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a study by Chinese researchers. They revealed that the effects of salt consumption on the kidneys are mediated at least in part by brain-kidney interactions.
