2. Salt and cardiovascular disease - Wikipedia

   The influence of physiological factors including renal function and insulin levels on sodium sensitivity are shown in various studies. [31] One study concludes that the effect of kidney failure on sodium sensitivity is substantial due to the contribution of decreasing the Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the kidney. [35]

3. Fractional excretion of sodium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_excretion_of_sodium

   the physiologic response to a decrease in kidney perfusion is an increase in sodium reabsorption to control hyponatremia, often caused by volume depletion or decrease in effective circulating volume (e.g. low output heart failure). above 2% [citation needed] or 3% [2] acute tubular necrosis or other kidney damage (postrenal disease)

4. Atrial natriuretic peptide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_natriuretic_peptide

   Opinions regarding the use of ANP for the treatment of acute heart failure and kidney disease are varied. [37] While this molecule has been shown to successfully restore some hemodynamic parameters following heart failure, and yield clinical improvement for kidney injury, whether it ultimately reduces mortality and its long-term effects are ...

5. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion

   This may be true hypovolemia, as a result of dehydration with fluid losses replaced by free water. It can also be perceived hypovolemia, as in the conditions of congestive heart failure (CHF) and cirrhosis in which the kidneys perceive a lack of intravascular volume. The hyponatremia caused by appropriate ADH release (from the kidneys ...

6. Health effects of salt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_salt

   Salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl) and is used in food for both preservation and flavor. Sodium ions are needed in small quantities by most living things, as are chlorine ions. Salt is involved in regulating the water content (fluid balance) of the body. Both sodium and chlorine ions are used for electrical signaling ...

   Yet, it’s a major modifiable risk factor for coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke, chronic kidney disease and dementia, notes Sean Kotkin, M.D., a preventative cardiologist at Mount ...

8. Renal sodium reabsorption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_sodium_reabsorption

   In renal physiology, renal sodium reabsorption refers to the process by which the kidneys, having filtered out waste products from the blood to be excreted as urine, re-absorb sodium ions (Na +) from the waste. It uses Na-H antiport, Na-glucose symport, sodium ion channels (minor). [1]

9. Hypervolemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervolemia

   The mechanism usually stems from compromised regulatory mechanisms for sodium handling as seen in congestive heart failure (CHF), kidney failure, and liver failure. It may also be caused by excessive intake of sodium from foods, intravenous (IV) solutions and blood transfusions , medications, or diagnostic contrast dyes.
