| Core Tip |
This study highlights the potential harm of salt restriction in cirrhotic patients with moderate to severe hyponatremia. Patients in the salt-restricted diet group (5 g/day) had a significantly higher risk of acute kidney injury, poorer nutritional and hemodynamic profiles, and increased short-term mortality compared to those in the salt-unrestricted diet group (10 g/day). Importantly, no significant improvement in ascites control was observed with salt restriction. These results question the routine use of salt restriction in this subgroup and emphasize the need for a more tailored dietary approach to optimize renal function, nutrition, and survival outcomes in hyponatremic cirrhotic patients. |
