What diseases can be caused by eating too much salt?

I know Atherosclerosis can be caused by eating too much saturated fat but what diseases are caused by salt (besides high blood pressure)

Side Effects
For individuals who are sodium-sensitive, an increased intake of sodium may contribute to high blood pressure. Therefore, people with high blood pressure may be advised to reduce sodium intake; all patients with high blood pressure should discuss this issue with their doctor. Reducing sodium can also reduce the side effects from certain prescription medications.
In addition, sodium may lead to fluid retention in patients with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, or kidney disease. These patients should be on strict sodium-restricted diets as prescribed by their doctor.
Please see the webpages for more details on Sodium in diet.

High Blood Pressure.

Eating too much salt or salty foods can lead to kidney problems like formation of kidney stones / water imbalance. So, everything has to be taken in moderation and drink lots of water to dissolve this and be excreted in theurine. Hope this helps. God bless

Hypertension. But it is not a disease, but a condition.
