Abstract

Salt consumption has substantially increased these last years in our modern societies and far exceeds our needs. It has a great impact on cardiovascular and renal disease and represents a major issue in public health. The present work is a review of observational and interventional studies exploring the relationship between salt consumption, high-blood pressure and cardiovascular morbimortality in the general population but also in chronic kidney diseases.
