Sodium restriction may not control BP in dogs with spontaneous hypertension; leaves open optimal regimens pending prospective trials.
Case Report (n=5)
Spontaneous systemic hypertension in dogs is frequently secondary to renal or adrenal disease and typically requires pharmacological therapy beyond sodium restriction.
Littman et al. (1988) conducted a case report in Spontaneous systemic hypertension (n=5). Sodium restriction and antihypertensive medications was evaluated on Blood pressure reduction. In 5 male dogs with spontaneous systemic hypertension, sodium restriction alone was inadequate to reduce blood pressure, requiring antihypertensive medications in 4 of the dogs.
