Summary

This trial looks at how different people's bodies react to salt in order to better understand and treat salt-sensitive hypertension.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking individuals with blood pressure levels indicating elevated BP or Stage 1 hypertension, as per the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines. It's not suitable for those with normal or severe high blood pressure, diabetes, heart failure, liver cirrhosis, electrolyte issues, kidney disease, certain medication use (like glucocorticoids), pregnant/nursing women, bleeding disorders, heavy daily salt intake (>6000 mg/day), metallic implants presence in body including pacemakers.
What is being tested?
The study investigates how a low sodium diet versus a high sodium diet affects kidney oxygenation and metabolism in people who are sensitive to salt. This could help understand why some individuals develop high blood pressure when they consume salt and lead to better diagnostic methods and treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
While this trial involves dietary changes rather than medications that typically have side effects like drugs do; potential discomforts may include cravings or dissatisfaction with the assigned diets.

Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary study objectives
Changes in renal regional tissue oxygenation in response to salt intake and salt sensitivity
