Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary endpoint will be the ECV as represented by the BP and Body Weight (BW) in response to a acute and chronic salt load, studied in healthy volunteers.<br><br><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
ESL will be assessed by three different (indirect) methods in association with different salt-conditions:<br /><br>-Volume of microvascular ESL (by Sidestream Darkfield (SDF) imaging as described in the methods section)<br /><br>-Transcapillary Escape Rate (TER-Alb) for measuring vascular permeability and determination of ESL function<br /><br>-ESL shedding products (heparan sulphate, hyalorunan, syndecan-1, hyloranudase activity)<br /><br>-GFR (determined with ioxehol)<br><br>
