[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 2283317, member: 388932"] Hi [USER=521715]@MrsA2[/USER] I remember reading recently a report that said if you are on a low carb diet, your kidneys can deal with excess salt, provided that they are not already damaged. With a 'perfect' reading it doesn't sound like you have a problem.
