  • Method for identifying salt-sensitive persons
    Patent number: 7888000
    Abstract: Salt sensitivity is measured as a function of the urinary 25-OHD binding activity, which may be evaluated by measuring 25-hydroxyvitamin D binding activity using radiolabeled 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. High binding activity is indicative of salt sensitivity and is an important predictor for development of salt-sensitivity related hypertension.
