title: [Sodium transport in chronic renal insufficiency].
abstract: From an analysis of the literature covering the problem of sodium contribution in uraemic patients subjected to both conservative treatment and maintenance dialysis, it has been shown that excessive reduction in dietary sodium intake can be harmful unless it is justified by severe hypertension or oedema since it aggravates the state of uraemia. In these cases, the addition of a minimum controlled amount of hyposodic salt to an otherwise salt free diet is undoubtedly useful. The hyposodic salt, "Misura" manufactured by the company "Plasmon" was used in the dietary treatment of a series of patients subjected to mild restriction in dietary salt intake. Misura was well tolerated and well accepted thanks to its pleasing taste.
