Acute Kidney Injury Markers and 24-Hour Blood Pressure after Short-Term High Salt and Ketone Supplementation in Apparently Healthy Adults

Randomized Controlled Trial

Human

The study gave people extra salt and ketone drinks for 10 days and checked if their blood pressure dropped normally at night. It found no change—so salt and ketones didn’t mess with their nighttime blood pressure drop.
