Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

study the effect of omega 3fatty acids on the vascular calcification biomarkers Fetuin -A and Osteoprotegerin (OPG) in dialysis patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

2-All Participants agreed to take part in this clinical research and provide informed consent.

3-Patients undergo both undergo hemodialysis (HD) will be enrolled from dialysis unit in al Moussa Hospital Alexandria.

4-Serum samples will be collected for measuring the biomarkers. 5-Our design is randomized, controlled, open-intervention study. 6- All enrolled patients will be divided into 2 groups, Group 1 will be 40 patients that will take omega 3fatty acids and Group 2 will be 20 patients will not take omega 3 fatty acids.

7-All patients will be followed up during 6 months' period. 8-Statsicial tests appropriate to the study design will be conducted to evaluate the significance of the results.

9-Measuring outcome: the primary outcome is the increase of the serum levels of the vascular calcification biomarkers after 6months.

10-Results, conclusions, discussion and recommendations will be given.

Inclusion criteria:

* 60 hemodialysis patients, (20-80) years old.
* Enrolled HD patients received regular HD 3 times weekly (on chronic maintenance for at least 6months).

Exclusion Criteria:

People with active infections (fever or any evidence of infections), known malignancy, connective tissue disorders, immunosuppressive therapy, and inflammatory diseases, current use of warfarin ,history of fish oil/omega 3 allergies were excluded.

Methodology:

* Feutin-A and Osteoprotegrin (OPG) will be determined by ELISA.
* Serum lipid levels, phosphorus, calcium, Parathormone (i-PTH), alkaline phosphatase, albumin and creatine levels.
* BMI
