Brief Summary

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

Nutritional and metabolic alterations in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) such as inflammation, oxidative stress, dyslipidemia, and poor nutritional status which associate with poor clinical outcome can potentially be targeted and ameliorated by interventions using nutritional supplements. The investigators evaluated the effects of 8 weeks of oral supplementation with flaxseed oil and pomegranate dry extract on markers of inflammation, lipid profile and nutritional status of individuals undergoing hemodialysis (HD).

The goal of this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of 8 weeks of oral supplementation with flaxseed oil and pomegranate dry extract on markers of inflammation, lipid profile and nutritional status of individuals undergoing hemodialysis (HD).

Participants will be randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to supplementation group to receive twice a day 1 capsule of 1.000 mg of flaxseed oil plus 1 capsule of 600mg of pomegranate dry extract; or to placebo group, to receive twice a day 1 capsule of 1.000 mg of sunflower oil plus 1 capsule of 600mg of microcrystalline celulose.
