US Classification:

424722, 435 29, 4352871

Abstract:

The present invention provides a systematic approach that allows health care providers (e.g., physicians) to use erythrocyte potassium measurements as an indicator of hypertension or risk of developing hypertension. In particular, the present invention provides systems and methods for treating conditions involving aberrant erythrocyte potassium levels (e.g., hypertension), preventing the onset of conditions involving aberrant erythrocyte potassium levels, identifying individuals at risk for developing hypertension, and evaluating the effectiveness of treatments for conditions involving aberrant erythrocyte potassium levels (e.g., hypertension).

Abstract:

The present invention provides methods for measuring, detecting, diagnosing, treating, and researching salt sensitivity and related conditions. In particular, the present invention provides methods for measuring, detecting, diagnosing, treating, and researching salt sensitivity through measuring aberrant red blood cell based potassium efflux levels. In addition, the present invention provides methods for treating conditions involving salt sensitivity (e.g., hypertension), preventing the onset of conditions involving salt sensitivity, identifying individuals at risk for developing salt sensitivity and related conditions, identifying new types of treatment for salt sensitivity and related conditions, and evaluating the effectiveness of treatments for conditions involving salt sensitivity (e.g., hypertension).
