Study Summary

The kidney plays a crucial role in maintaining salt balance by two opposing physiological mechanisms: the renal dopaminergic system which enhances salt excretion and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) which causes salt retention. Salt-sensitive hypertension occurs when this balance is altered or abnormal. We hypothesized that this balance is influenced by salt intake: therefore dietary salt affects the natriuretic response to the renal dopaminergic agonist Fenoldopam, and the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme inhibitor, Enalapril. In this trial we study normal salt balance mechanisms in salt resistant adults with normal blood pressure.

Primary Outcome

All subjects received placebo/enalapril in a randomized counterbalanced fashion in both phases. Phase 1 was on low salt, while Phase 2 was on high salt. All subjects received a 3 hour fenoldopam infusion, during which time urinary sodium excretion was measured as the primary outcome bvariable.
