Restriction of dietary salt is widely recommended in the management of hypertension, but assessment of individual salt intake has drawn little attention. Monitoring nutritional salt intake through sodium excretion has been popular, because the main route for sodium (Na) excretion is through the urine. Nonetheless, direct measurement of dietary salt intake is time consuming and lacks accuracy. To collect a 24-h urine and measure the content is difficult method for most patients. In this review paper, we would like to explore the usefulness of measuring urinary salt excretion by using a self-monitoring device at home. Measuring daily overnight urine by the self-monitoring device at home will be useful for the management of hypertension suitable for each individual. From the recent increase of processed foods, the term "salt intake" would not accurately be equal to "sodium intake". Devices measuring urinary sodium excretion have been developed and evaluated on their accuracy and correlation with sodium intake. They must be handy, simple and capable of measuring large populations to be useful for monitoring of daily salt intake and to guide salt restriction as well as the long-term effects by dietary salt intake.
饮食限盐在高血压管理中被广泛推荐，但个体盐摄入量的评估却很少受到关注。通过钠排泄来监测营养盐摄入量很普遍，因为钠（Na）排泄的主要途径是通过尿液。尽管如此，直接测量饮食盐摄入量既耗时又缺乏准确性。对大多数患者来说，收集24小时尿液并测量其含量是一种困难的方法。在这篇综述文章中，我们想探讨在家中使用自我监测设备测量尿盐排泄的实用性。在家中使用自我监测设备测量每日夜间尿液，对于适合个体的高血压管理将是有用的。由于加工食品的近期增加，“盐摄入量”一词并不准确等同于“钠摄入量”。已经开发了测量尿钠排泄的设备，并对其准确性以及与钠摄入量的相关性进行了评估。它们必须便于使用、简单且能够测量大量人群，以便对每日盐摄入量进行监测，并指导限盐以及饮食盐摄入的长期影响。
