Abstract
Oral sodium loading induces more rapid natriuresis than intravenous administration in healthy individuals.
- Natriuresis is the process of excreting sodium in urine.
- A gut-kidney feed-forward mechanism may be involved in this response.
- It is unclear if this physiological response is impaired in type 2 diabetes.
- The potential role of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonism in restoring natriuresis in type 2 diabetes remains to be investigated.
