Association between estimated glomerular filtration rate and sodium excretion in urine of African descendants in Brazil: a population-based study.
CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that age, female sex, BMI, and correlated negatively with eGFR. Sodium excretion was the only variable that showed a positive correlation with eGFR, indicating that high levels of urinary sodium excretion may contribute to hyperfiltration with potentially harmful consequences.
