Fish oil for kidney dialysis patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking fish oil supplements can improve the function of 'good' cholesterol (HDL) in people who are on regular dialysis for kidney failure. It might help reduce heart risks in dialysis patients.
