Less Sodium, More Potassium, or Both: Population-wide Strategies to Prevent Hypertension
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol. 2023 Jun 1. doi: 10.1152/ajprenal.00007.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHypertension is among the most prevalent medical conditions globally and a major contributor to chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and death. Prevention through non-pharmacologic, population-level interventions is critically needed to halt this worldwide epidemic.

The increase of core temperature affected the progression of kidney injury by repeated heat stress exposure.
CONCLUSIONS: These studies suggest that kidney injury in heat stress is markedly worsened by increasing core temperature. The studies are consistent with the hypothesis that clinical and subclinical heat stroke may play a role in Mesoamerican Nephropathy. PMID: 31390229 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
