  1. Abbreviations: BP Blood Pressure, IQR Interquartile range, MW Mann–Whitney test. Values of urinary sodium (mg/24 h) and changes to baseline of all the parameters (urinary sodium, systolic and diastolic BP) are expressed as median and interquartile range, values of systolic/diastolic BP (mmHg) are expressed as mean ± standard deviation
