Oral Fish Oil Supplementation Raises Blood Omega-3 Levels and Lowers C-Reactive Protein in Haemodialysis Patients-a Pilot Study
The present study was conducted since previous evidence-based reports from the literature have indicated that patients with end-stage kidney disease who are maintained on haemodialysis have shown lowered levels of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids as DHA+EPA. These low levels reflected the very low intakes of dietary fish in this population. Since lower levels of DHA+EPA in the circulation hav...
متن کاملOral fish oil supplementation raises blood omega-3 levels and lowers C-reactive protein in haemodialysis patients--a pilot study.
BACKGROUND We previously reported that haemodialysis patients have suboptimal blood levels of the cardioprotective omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids. In the present pilot study, we tested the hypothesis that supplementing haemodialysis patients for 12 weeks with the American Heart Association (AHA)-recommended fish oil dose wou...
متن کاملValproic acid and plasma levels of primidone and derived phenobarbital.
Five patients were studied to determine whether kinetic interaction occurs between valproic acid and primidone. During concurrent administration of primidone and valproic acid no significant interaction was observed. Primidone and derived phenobarbital levels did not change significantly. No adjustment of primidone dose was required when valproic acid was used as adjunctive therapy.
متن کاملOnline-haemodiafiltration vs. conventional haemodialysis: a cross-over study
BACKGROUND The main short-term advantages of haemodiafiltration (HDF) are supposedly better removal of Beta2-microglobulin (ß2-m) and phosphate, and better haemodynamic stability. The main disadvantage is higher costs. The aim of the study was to compare the clinical and biological parameters associated with HDF and high-flux haemodialysis (HD), using a cross-over design, while maintaining the ...
متن کاملAlcohol significantly lowers the seizure threshold in mice when co-administered with bupropion hydrochloride
BACKGROUND Bupropion HCl is a widely used antidepressant that is known to cause seizures in a dose-dependent manner. Many patients taking antidepressants will consume alcohol, even when advised not to. Previous studies have not shown any interactions between bupropion HCl and alcohol. However, there have been no previous studies examining possible changes in seizure threshold induced by a combi...
