Seventeen patients with borderline hypertension and 11 patients with sustained hypertension were instructed to reduce their salt intake to 5-8 g/day. We checked whether or not the patients were following instructions by estimating their 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (UNaV). In borderline hypertension, the UNaV was 5.6 +/- 0.4g/24-hour on a normal salt diet and 3.7 +/- 0.3 (p less than 0.01) on a salt-restricted diet, while in sustained hypertension it was 4.9 +/- 0.3g and 3.6 +/- 0.4g/24-hour (p less than 0.01), respectively. After moderate salt restriction there was a significant fall in blood pressure in the supine, sitting and standing positions in both the borderline and the sustained hypertensives. There was a significant relationship between the fall of mean blood pressure in the supine position and the decrease in the 24-hour urinary sodium excretion, which was corrected for 24-hour creatinine excretion, in overall hypertensive patients (r = 0.39, p less than 0.05). In the borderline hypertensive group, both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the sitting position were 8.7 mmHg or 6.3% (p less than 0.01) and 6.2 mmHg or 6.6% lower (p less than 0.01) on salt-restricted diets than those on normal salt diets, respectively. In 9 of 14 patients with borderline hypertension, the diastolic blood pressure moved into the normal range during the salt restriction. We suggest that moderate salt restriction is an effective management of borderline hypertension.
