Weekly intensive education on a low-salt diet effectively reduces albuminuria in nondiabetic hypertensive patients treated with olmesartan.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support intensive low-salt education to reduce albuminuria on olmesartan; leaves open effects on hard renal outcomes.
The 24-hour urinary albumin excretion was decreased more in patients in the intensive low-salt diet education group than patients in the conventional education group. Weekly intensive education on a low-salt diet would be a suitable method for clinical practice.
