Effect of celery seed on kidney function tests and serum
electrolytes in hypertensive patients
The difference between the two groups was compared in kidney function
tests; BUN and SCr and some important serum electrolytes; Na, K, Ca, and
P after 4-weeks of treatment. There were no significant differences
between the treatment and placebo groups and within each group pre- and
post-intervention in Na, K, Ca, and P values (P>0.05)
(Table 6). Furthermore, significant changes were observed in BUN and SCr
after celery consumption (P<0.05). The mean reduction in BUN
and SCr were 3.43 and 0.08 mg/dL, respectively.
