Abstract
Genetic variation, dietary sodium and the response of blood pressure:
Essential hypertension is a common disease, Association between the parental blood
presume, genetic, nutritional and other environmental factors, (obesity, sodium chloride,
alcohol, low potassium, low calcium, low omega –3 fatty acid intake, stress, physical activity
etc) interact in the development of hypertension. Variations in the blood pressure are due to
combined effects of many genes. As result different individuals, even within the same family
may be hypertensive due to combined effects of many genes. Patients with low plasma rennin
respond to salt restriction. Genetic differences most likely are responsible for salt sensitivity.
Only half of the patients with essential hypertension is salt sensitive, therefore a general
recommendation to reduce salt intake is not appropriate.
