Renal denervation alters ambulatory blood pressure-derived salt sensitivity index in patients with uncontrolled hypertension

Conclusion: Increased salt sensitivity after RDN may represent a compensatory mechanism to maintain renal capacity for adequate salt handling. This novel finding may have implications for patient management after RDN, such as prescription of salt moderation to further optimize RDN-induced BP-lowering efficacy.
