True. A recent study found that skin sodium content correlates with left ventricular mass and is unaffected by BP and total body overhydration. Interventions that reduce skin sodium content may improve cardiovascular outcomes in these patients. Schneider MP, et al. J Am Soc Nephrol. 2017;28(6):1867-1876.
