Reexamining the quality of life of hypertensive patients. A new self-structured measure.

abstract：:In normal subjects, insulin decreases the urinary excretion of sodium, potassium, and uric acid. We tested whether these renal effects of insulin are altered in insulin resistant hypertension. In 37 patients with essential hypertension, we measured the changes in urinary excretion of sodium, potassium, and uric acid i...
