Why the study?
Do excess aldosterone and high dietary sodium intake combine to worsen proteinuria in patients with resistant hypertension?
Do excess aldosterone and high dietary sodium intake combine to worsen proteinuria in patients with resistant hypertension?
In patients with resistant hypertension, aldosterone excess and high dietary salt intake synergistically increase urinary protein excretion, suggesting a cardiorenal interaction.

May indicate aldosterone-sodium synergy on proteinuria in resistant hypertension; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve outcomes.
Pimenta et al. (2007) studied this question.
