The Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant chain, now a division of Yum! Brands and rebranded KFC, has long used the proprietary nature of its seasoning blend, purportedly containing "eleven herbs and spices," as a selling point.
A Chicago Tribune travel reporter was assigned to visit and write about the Harland Sanders Cafe and Museum. A member of the family of the founder of the chain showed the reporter a deceased aunt's photo album and her will, on the back of which the following recipe had been written:
11 Spices – Mix With 2 Cups White Fl.
1) 2/3 Ts Salt
2) 1/2 Ts Thyme
3) 1/2 Ts Basil
4) 1/3 Ts Origino (sic) [sic]
5) 1 Ts Celery Salt
6) 1 Ts Black Pepper
7) 1 Ts Dried Mustard
8) 4 Ts Paprika
9) 2 Ts Garlic Salt
10) 1 Ts Ground Ginger
11) 3 Ts White Pepper
Reporters prepared some chicken using breading made with the recipe. However, the flavour differed from that of the chicken served at KFC. When MSG was sprinkled on the chicken, the flavour became similar to KFC's chicken. A KFC spokesperson confirmed to the Tribune that the company uses MSG.

These days, people with chronic/gradual renal failure are put on blood pressure pills as soon as their kidneys start to jack the pressure up in order to disrupt the damage spiral. Dialysis isn't performed until the end-stage, I believe.
That said, if my case is anything to go by, CRF patients can sink relatively far into failure without having problems handling salt and with the high BP as the only clear symptom. (You know you're a geek when you discover that the end stage of your likely-terminal condition causes headaches, and your first thought is a snarky "I don't want to go to heaven with a headache, I'd be all cross and wouldn't enjoy it!")
