title: [Saline load test for diet instruction in patients with essential hypertension].
abstract: The saline loading test was performed in 53 hospitalized patients with essential hypertension. According to Sullivan's standard, 22 of the 53 patients were salt-sensitive (SS), 31 were salt-resistant (SR). The blood pressure in two groups of patients response to salt restriction diet were compared. The results showed that the decrease in level of blood pressure in SS group was higher than that in SR group after salt restriction diet (SS, 23.2 +/- 1.9/14.0 +/- 1.4 vs 21.4 +/- 1.7/13.1 +/- 1.3kPa, P < 0.01-0.05; SR, 23.4 +/- 2.0/14.1 +/- 1.4 vs 23.1 +/- 1.8/13.8 +/- 1.4kPa, P > 0.05). It was concluded that salt restriction diet was stressed on SS than SR patients.
