Association of Sodium, Potassium and Sodium-to-Potassium Ratio with Urine Albumin Excretion among the General Chinese Population.

ABSTRACT: Mixed evidence was published regarding the association of sodium, potassium and sodium-to-potassium ratio (Na/K ratio) with renal function impairment. This study was conducted to further explore the relationship between sodium, potassium, NA/K ratio and kidney function in the general adult Chinese population. We performed a cross-sectional analysis using the baseline data from the Action on Salt China (ASC) study. 5185 eligible general adult participants from the baseline investigation of the ASC study were included in this analysis. Sodium, potassium and albumin excretion were examined from 24-h urine collection. Albuminuria was defined as albumin excretion rate (AER) greater than or equal to 30 mg/24-h. Mixed linear regression models, adjusted for confounders, were fitted to analyze the
