Dietary nitrate for high blood pressure kidney injury
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a natural substance found in leafy greens (dietary nitrate) can help protect the kidneys of people with high blood pressure and early kidney damage. It may offer a simple dietary way to slow kidney disease.
