In this ongoing study, we investigate the changes in skin sodium concentration between controls and a group receiving a diuretic for seven days and present results from an interim analysis. Ultra-short echo time ²³Na-MRI is performed at baseline and after seven days, at the end treatment. Results are correlated with measurements of sodium from biopsy samples.
