Sodium Lowering and Urinary Protein Reduction Trial

Once randomized to the Intervention program, study participants will be grouped into intervention cohorts of approximately 10 participants per group to facilitate group counseling sessions. Both the intensive intervention phase and the maintenance phase will include individual and group behavioral modification counseling designed to facilitate a reduction in dietary sodium intake. Success of the intervention will be assessed by comparing the urine sodium measurements from 24-hour urine collections performed at screening, 12 weeks and 24 weeks.
