- For individuals with impaired kidney function, low-sodium salt can be considered "death salt."
The kidneys regulate sodium and potassium levels in the body. Most people with impaired kidney function have kidney damage, resulting in inadequate regulation of sodium and potassium levels and restricted potassium excretion.
Consuming low-sodium salt in such cases increases potassium levels, leading to hyperkalemia and electrolyte imbalances, which are quite dangerous. Therefore, people with impaired kidney function should not consume low-sodium salt.
- For other population groups, what are the advantages of low-sodium salt?
