Sodium Output—Blood Pressure Relationships and Their Modification by Treatment

D. M. GREEN M.D.1 EUGENE J. ELLIS M.D.1

1 From the University of Southern California School of Medicine, Los Angeles, Calif.

This study summarizes relationships among blood pressure, 24-hour sodium output, basal output and output under load, in patients on self-selected diets. Additional evidence was secured for the existence of a general correlation between blood pressure and sodium output. This correlation persisted when the blood pressure of hypertensive patients was chronically reduced by medical or surgical therapy.
