From: Significance of estimated salt excretion as a possible predictor of the efficacy of concomitant angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and low-dose thiazide in patients with ARB resistance

Figure 2

The correlation between estimated salt excretion and changes in systolic or diastolic blood pressure and the correlation between urine Na-to-Cr ratio and estimated salt excretion or changes in mean blood pressure in the 3rd month. The individual correlations between changes in blood pressure during the initial 3 months and baseline eSE were plotted (n=93). The relationships between (a) baseline eSE and SBP changes and (b) baseline eSE and DBP changes were plotted. Correlations between (c) baseline NCR and baseline eSE and (d) baseline NCR and MBP changes were also plotted. R indicates the regression coefficient. Abbreviations: SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; MBP, mean blood pressure; eSE, estimated salt excretion; NCR, urine Na-to-creatinine ratio.
