A Method for Estimating 24-Hour Urinary Sodium Excretion by Casual Urine Specimen in Chinese Hypertensive Patients

Abstract

Sun_C method may prove a reasonable method to estimate the daily dietary sodium intakes (particularly in the range of 6-12 g/d of NaCl) in Chinese hypertensive patients using spot urine measurements. As the amount of data increases in the future, the performance of our formulae will be further improved.
