Dietary sodium is a major determinant of urinary calcium loss (1) . High-sodium intake results in increased loss of calcium in the urine, possibly due to competition between sodium and calcium for reabsorption in the kidneys or by an effect of sodium on parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion.
Sodium is a mineral found naturally in foods and is the major part of table salt. What are the effects of eating too much sodium? When your kidneys are not healthy, extra sodium and fluid build up in your body.
