Abstract:
Introduction. Patients on long-term hemodialysis are at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and premature mortality. It is generally believed that omega-3 supplementation can prevent cardiovascular events due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic effects.
Materials and Methods. Fifty-two hemodialysis patients were divided into 2 groups to receive omega-3 and placebo for 6 six months. Serum biomarkers and inflammatory agents were measured in both groups before and after the intervention. Quality of life was also assessed before and after the trial using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form questionnaire.
Results. Patients who received omega-3 showed an increase in serum calcium level (P = .005), a decrease in vascular cell adhesion molecule (P = .04), and an increase in the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (P Conclusions. Our data showed beneficial effects of omega-3 supplementation during chronic hemodialysis on inflammatory processes and also quality of life. We suggest administration of omega-3 in the hemodialysis community in a preventive manner for improvement of cardiovascular events and quality of life.
