UNLOADING DIET THERAPY FOR ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION
After unloading diet therapy (UDT), 84 patients underwent 24-hour blood pressure (BP) monitoring; their renal function was studied by current methods, such as tests for microalbuminuria and glomerular filtration rate. UDT was found to have a positive impact on body weight, BP, and laboratory parameters of renal function, which persisted during 1- and 6-month prospective follow-ups.
