Present study aimed to analyze the effect of low sodium high potassium salt on hypertension patients. This Between-subjects experimental study was conducted at Outpatient Department of a public hospital of Lahore. To assess the impact of dietary salt, a random sample of 93 hypertensive patients was divided into experimental (n=45) and control group (n=48). At baseline, blood pressure readings and blood tests (to measure the sodium and potassium quantities), were taken. Experimental group was instructed to take dietary salt while control group continued to take regular salt for a month. Patients maintained a record of their blood pressure ratings, checked on daily basis. After intervention, the effect of dietary salt was seen. Outcomes manifested that after taking dietary salt, interventional group got normal levels of sodium (Na=136–145 mmol/L) but control group was having greater level of sodium almost similar to reported at baseline (NaCl=146–153 mmol/L) p<.001. Moreover, the introduction of low sodium salt led to normal levels of potassium in experimental group. Subsequently, results showed a significant decrease in blood pressure levels of experimental group than control group. In short, replacement of low sodium salt with regular salt is effective in normalizing blood pressure.
