Concordance of dietary sodium intake and concomitant phosphate load: Implications for sodium interventions

Both a high dietary sodium and high phosphate load are associated with an increased cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and possibly also in non-CKD populations. Sodium and phosphate are abundantly present in processed food. We hypothesized that (modulation of) dietary sodium is accompanied by changes in phosphate load across populations with normal and impaired renal function.
