Estimating 24-Hour Sodium Excretion from Spot Urine Samples in Chinese Adults: Can Spot Urine Substitute 24-Hour Urine Samples?

ABSTRACT: Several estimating equations for predicting 24-h urinary sodium (24-hUNa) excretion using spot urine (SU) samples have been developed, but have not been readily available to Chinese populations. We aimed to compare and validate the six existing methods at population level and individual level. We extracted 1671 adults eligible for both 24-h urine and SU sample collection. Mean biases (95% CI) of predicting 24-hUNa excretion using six formulas were 58.6 (54.7, 62.5) mmol for Kawasaki, -2.7 (-6.2, 0.9) mmol for Tanaka, -24.5 (-28.0, -21.0) mmol for the International Cooperative Study on Salt, Other Factors, and Blood Pressure (INTERSALT) with potassium, -26.8 (-30.1, -23.3) mmol for INTERSALT without potassium, 5.9 (2.3, 9.6) mmol for Toft, and -24.2 (-27.7, -20.6) mmol for Whitton.
