Fish oil and heart health in dialysis patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study is looking at whether fish oil supplements can improve the function of 'good' cholesterol (HDL) in people who are on maintenance hemodialysis. If you are a stable dialysis patient, you may be able to join to help researchers understand how fish oil affects heart and blood vessel health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
