In terms of diet recommendations, people with this condition are encouraged to eat a low sodium and high potassium diet. It is believed that genetics may play a role in the development of high blood pressure and may affect changes in blood pressure levels, including changes brought on by sodium and potassium. This study will identify genetic factors that may influence blood pressure changes due to increased salt or potassium intake in people with mildly elevated blood pressure and in their family members.","abstract_license":"ClinicalTrials.gov (U.S. National Library of Medicine), data processed 2026-10-29T09:00:05; modifications: selected fields only; whitespace normalized; brief summary truncated to 2,000 characters","license":"ClinicalTrials.gov terms (attribution, processing date, modifications noted)","is_open_access":true,"retracted":false,"peer_reviewed":null,"categories":["Blood Pressure"],"details":{"acronym":"GenSalt","status":"COMPLETED","phase":"PHASE3","study_type":"INTERVENTIONAL","enrollment":1906,"sponsor":"National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)","conditions":["Blood Pressure"],"interventions":["BEHAVIORAL: Low Sodium Diet","BEHAVIORAL: High Sodium Diet","DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT: Potassium Supplementation"],"start_date":"2003-10-01","start_date_type":null,"primary_completion_date":"2005-07-01","has_results":false,"data_source":"ClinicalTrials.gov","data_processed":"2026-10-29T09:00:05","modifications":"selected fields only; whitespace normalized; brief summary truncated to 2,000 characters"},"provenance":"clinicaltrials","attribution":"Source: ClinicalTrials.gov (U.S. National Library of Medicine), data processed 2026-10-29T09:00:05; modifications: selected fields only; whitespace normalized; brief summary truncated to 2,000 characters.
