Lack of Association Between Sodium Intake and Cytokine Levels
This cross-sectional study revealed no associations between 24-hour urinary sodium and cytokine or CRP levels. This does not suggest reducing salt intake would be unbeneficial in hypertension. Additional research is required to clarify the mechanisms through which salt may induce hypertension. Assessing sodium intake in epidemiological studies is also challenging.
