OR-29: Selective “sodium-sensitivity” in “salt-sensitive” African-Americans by Schmidlin, Olga, Forman, Alex H., Sebastian, Anthony, Morris, R.Curtis

“…It is widely believed that “salt-sensitivity” is initiated by an excessive renal reclamation of both Na+ and Cl- that entrains an osmotic expansion of plasma…”
