Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Increased salt consumption may provoke water retention, thus leading to a condition of high flow in arterial vessels. The mechanism of pressure natriuresis has been proposed as a physiologic phenomenon where an increase in BP in the renal arteries causes increased salt and water excretion [10].
Detailed explanation-2: -How does salt raise your blood pressure? Salt makes your body hold onto water. If you eat too much, the extra water in your blood means there is extra pressure on your blood vessel walls, raising your blood pressure.
Detailed explanation-3: -Conversely, with a decrease in blood pressure, the nephron increases sodium and water reabsorption, to increase ECFV and thereby increase blood pressure.
