for a person to remain in Na+ balance, the amount of Na+ excreted in the urine must be exactly equal to daily Na+ intake. When a person eats a high Na+ diet, because Na+ is primarily distributed in the ECF, there is an increase in ECF volume and EABV. The increase in EABV is detected, and the kidneys orchestrate an increase in Na+ excretion that attempts to return ECF volume and EABV to normal. ref-costanzo hope it helps you.

lol.. What about when u take in More salt. Shouldnt there be less stimulus for Macla densa / JG cells and dec Ang II. And dec constriction on Eff and dec hydrostatic pressure and dec GFR. And if GFR is dec shouldnt Na+ Filtration Fraction dec also.. then how can the body maintain this Na+ excretion when we take more salt in Actually as i was typing this i realized that osmolarity has more of an affect on Vasopressin than RAAS but it sounded so nice and confusing before ^_^ ..
