Renal hypertension is high blood pressure caused by a narrowing of the arteries that carry blood to the kidneys. Salt increases the movement of fluids from cells into capillaries, thereby raising the volume of body fluids. The increase in body fluids increases blood pressure. People with renal hypertension have to avoid high levels of salts to avoid a further increase in blood pressure.

Eating lots of salt retains water so then you put on wait from other fluids you are drink or eating.

Not only that but salt raises your soduim, and cholesteral levels.
