Health - Kidney problems due to salt content of NaGHB?

[yabbi]

SWIM's friend recently had problems with his kidneys. He felt a steady pain in both kidneys after an good night on NaGHB.
Any of you SWIMS here have experienced this before??

Swim has experienced this with Gbl but not with NAGHB, but then again Swim is a light and occasional user. The salt content could cause a problem for some people who have perhaps overindulged in it or have stressed their kidneys with gbl previously. Pain is the bodies message to ease up a bit on usage.

The salt issue regarding NaGHB seems to be popping up quite frequently at the moment but, according to published figures for Xyrem, there is only .182g of sodium in a gram of NaGHB.

This means that, at the therapeutic sleep doses for narcoleptic patients, 2 x 4.5g every night equates to 1.6g of sodium.

Whilst that is still a good pinch of salt, the daily recommended intake is still 6g so there is plenty of room as long as the patient is eating a good diet and drinking plenty of water, which everyone should be doing anyway.

Other than that one could eat a banana or tomato or anything else that's high in potassium to counteract the sodium.
