Adult normotensive subjects were divided into 2 groups on the basis of whether their 1st degree relatives were diagnosed as being hypertensive. Urine samples were collected over a 24 h period for 3 days and analyzed for electrolyte excretion; the rate of electrolyte excretion was measured separately during the overnight period. Significant correlations were shown between blood pressure and Na and Cl excretion, both the 24 h total and the overnight rate; Na/K ratio; weight and body mass index for those subjects with a positive family history of hypertension. In subjects with no family history of hypertension, there were no significant correlations between the parameters and blood pressure. The rate of urinary Na excretion overnight may provide a means for further studies on populations to determine the interrelationship between Na excretion, blood pressure, other parameters and family history of hypertension.
