We wanted to test the hypothesis that acute treatment with atorvastatin changes renal sodium handling, renal hemodynamics, tubular function and vasoactive hormones in healthy humans during normal and high sodium intake.~We wanted to analyze if changes in renal hemodynamics, tubular function, hormones, blood pressure and HR under acute treatment with atorvastatin depends on sodium intake.
