Potassium-enriched salt for patients with hypertension: a Hypertension Australia and National Hypertension Taskforce of Australia Position Statement

We advocate for the inclusion of this recommendation in future hypertension management guidelines. Systematic, nation-wide implementation of potassium-enriched salt as a replacement for regular salt should be prioritized as a scalable public health intervention. We call for further research into the impact of potassium-enriched salt in patients with kidney disease, the general population unscreened for hyperkalaemia risk, and patients using different antihypertensive regimens.
