Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acid on Vitamin D Activation in Hemodialysis Patients
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Omega-3 fatty acid ethylester 90, Olive oil, and 1 other intervention for Hemodialysis Patients and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 17 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Extra-renal sources of 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D can be increased to normal serum 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels in chronic kidney disease patients after administration of high dose 25-hydroxyvitamin D. The investigators observed that 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D concentrations were significantly increased after 3 months of omega-3 FA supplementation compared to baseline levels without 25-hydroxyvitamin D administration in dialysis patients. In this study, the investigators hypothesized that omega-3 FA and 25-hydroxyvitamin D supplementations may increase 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D concentrations much more compared to 25-hydroxyvitamin D supplementation only in hemodialysis patients with insufficient or deficient 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels.
