Blood Pressure and Diurnal Variation in Sodium, Potassium, and Water Excretion
Panoramica dello studio

Descrizione dettagliata
BACKGROUND:
For decades excess sodium intake has been implicated in the etiopathogenesis of high blood pressure. Data from epidemiological, clinical, and animal experimental studies all suggest a direct casual association between excess salt intake and hypertension. Several investigators suggest that hypertension is the result of an inability of the kidney to excrete salt and water normally. It is hypothesized that the development of chronic blood pressure elevation results from the kidney's need to increase urine volume and sodium excretion -- in the presence of habitual high sodium intake -- in order to maintain homeostasis of the extracellular fluid volume.
Diurnal variations in excretion of sodium, chloride, potassium and water have been observed in several studies. Water and electrolyte excretion in normal individuals generally reaches a maximum sometime around midday with a minimum toward the end of the sleep period. These studies suggest that the daytime excretion rate exceeds the nighttime rate by 50 to 100 percent. Overnight urine collections have been used in many studies since they are easier to obtain, but they do not provide a direct estimate of the actual intake of sodium or potassium. In order to estimate actual intake, overnight values must be corrected to 24-hour values, that is, by multiplying the overnight values by previously determined ratios of 24-hour to overnight excretions. Preliminary studies by this group of investigators in hypertensives were the first which computed 24-hour to overnight ratios for excretion of sodium, potassium and creatinine in a definite way. This study in hypertensives showed a reversal of the diurnal cycle of sodium excretion. What is not clear in this study and others is whether the reversal is associated with hypertension or reflects decreased renal function with age or whether deterioration of renal function is due to the kidney readjusting its output of salt and water to maintain homeostasis in the face of both an excess sodium intake and a highly variable day to day intake. In addition, it may be that an abnormal diurnal pattern of sodium excretion may indicate that one is at risk of development of hypertension.
DESIGN NARRATIVE:
Each participant provided three 24-hour urine collections, divided into daytime and overnight specimens for the assessment of sodium, potassium, creatinine, and water excretion. Four blood pressure measurements were made. Height and weight were measured. Information was collected on demographic variables, alcohol intake, history and treatment of blood pressure, medication use, family history of high blood pressure, cigarette use, and changes in dietary habits. Analysis of variance was the primary method of data analysis.
