3 The intake of salt should be limited too. General renal hypertensive patients should ingest no more than 5 g salt per day. But as for those patients who has severe edema, cardiac insufficiency and severe hypertension,the intake of salt should be limited to no more than 3 g per day.

4 The patients should reduce their workload and labor intensity so that they can strike a balance between work and test. Then the daily care and health care will be more effective consequently.
