What are the effects of an intensive low-salt diet education on albuminuria among nondiabetic patients with hypertension treated with olmesartan?
A single-blinded randomized, controlled trial conducted by Hwang et al. (2020) suggests that intensive low-salt diet education may have beneficial effects on albuminuria among nondiabetic patients with hypertension treated with olmesartan. The study found that the intervention group, which received intensive low-salt diet education, had significantly lower albuminuria levels at 12 weeks than the control group, which did not receive any intervention. This suggests that intensive low-salt diet education may be an effective approach to reducing albuminuria levels in patients with hypertension treated with olmesartan. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings.
