In kidney transplant recipients, does reducing dietary salt intake compared to usual salt intake improve clinically relevant outcomes and decrease adverse effects?
According to the Cochrane review, reducing dietary salt intake compared to usual salt intake may improve clinically relevant outcomes and decrease adverse effects in kidney transplant recipients. The outcomes listed in Table 1 of the review include changes in kidney function, mortality, cardiovascular events, and quality of life. The review also found that reducing salt intake may lead to a decrease in blood pressure. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings.
