Association between Sodium Intake and Urinary Fractional Albumin and Immunoglobulin G Excretion in Chronic Nondialytic Renal Disease: A Prospective Longitudinal Study

Conclusion: In CKD patients, changes in estimated sodium intake were associated with changes in the fractional albumin and IgG excretion regardless of confounding factors. Findings of this study support the idea that reducing salt intake, and consequently, albumin and IgG fractional excretions could help to slow CKD progression. This hypothesis must be tested in long-term interventional studies.Nephron
