Postmenopausal Hypertension and Sodium Sensitivity

Abstract: It has been well established that women generally have lower incidence rates of hypertension than men at similar ages and these differences may vary with age. It also has been observed in many studies that after menopause, blood pressure (BP) increases in women to levels even higher than in men. The lack of estrogens may not be suggested as the only component involved in the development of postmenopausal hypertension. Thus, in this mini-review, the possible mechanisms by which sex hormones may influence the BP… Show more

“…35 Several mechanisms may be supposed to be responsible for this BP rise: increase of salt sensitivity, decrease of nitric oxide production, overexpression of type 1 angiotensin II receptor. 36 Estrogens are supposed to protect from high BP levels by strengthening the correlation between pressure and salt excretion and promoting nitric-oxide synthetize activity and nitric oxide production. In particular, a previous study that involves more that >22,000 Italian female patients showed that menopause has a double risk of developing sustained hypertension.…”

“…43 However, in literature some differences were described for diuretics with better response among women. During menopause, women presented a greater salt-sensitivity, so diuretics may be useful to promote renal sodium excretion and BP reduction, 36 moreover a beneficial effect on calcium metabolism, with a consequent inferior risk of hip fracture, was described. 44 Diuretics present also different side effects according to gender: among women sodium and potassium reduction, while an increased risk of gout among men.…”

“…Berdasarkan hasil dari penelitian (Kim, Kim, Lee, Lee, & Wang, 2014) dengan judul Postmenopausal hypertension and sodium sensitivity, menjelaskan bahwa mekanisme pengaturan ginjal untuk perbedaan gender dalam tekanan darah dan mengeksplorasi efek dari asupan garam pada tekanan darah (sensitivitas garam) pada wanita pra dan pasca-menopause. Diperoleh hasil bahwa prevalensi garam-sensitivitas meningkat dengan usia dan diet rendah garam telah terbukti membantu mengurangi tekanan darah sistolik (SBP) dan diastolik BP.…”
