Omega-3 for stress and nutrition in kids on dialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking omega-3 supplements (a type of healthy fat) can help reduce stress on the body and improve nutrition in children who are on regular hemodialysis. If your child fits the age and dialysis requirements and has not taken similar supplements recently, they may be able to join.
