The responses to sodium depletion and repletion were studied in subgroups of 92 normotensive and 65 borderline hypertensive individuals. The borderline hypertensives were characterized by significantly higher blood pressure, weight, cardiac output, hematocrit and decreased density of conjunctival capillaries and venules. Sodium-sensitivity was defined as an increase in mean arterial blood pressure exceeding 5% during sodium repletion. The prevalence of sodium-sensitivity was higher in blacks than in whites and greater in hypertensives than in normotensives. Sodium-sensitive individuals were characterized by significantly increased forearm vascular resistance and decreased plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration. The resemblance of these changes to those reported in the Dahl salt-sensitive rat suggests a genetic basis for the response to sodium.
