About this study

Official title: Omega 3 Acids and Cardio - Vascular Complications in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease in Stage 1-3

The National Register of Nephrology in 2007 shows, similarly to the European data, a problem of a high mortality rate among Polish dialysis patients.

The main reason of death among chronically dialysis patients are cardio - vascular system diseases. According to "The Report on the Condition of Renal Replacement Therapy in Poland in 2007", these diseases are the cause of 53% deaths in Poland. The patients with chronic kidney disease (PChN) are particularly at risk of cardio - vascular complications. These complications occur on average 30 times more often than in the whole population, and among young dialysis people, these complications occur 300 times more often. In the development of cardio - vascular complications polyunsaturated Omega-3 acids (especially eicosapentaenoic acid - EPA and docosahexaenoic acid - DHA) take a special position. The reaction of polyunsaturated Omega-3 acids on the cardiovascular system results from the enrichment of phospholipids of cell membranes within EPA and DHA. It should be noted that their impact is dependent on the type of acid and on the dose. Docosahexaenoic acid reacts with lipids and lipoproteins, blood pressure, heart rate, amount of glucose, and eicosapentaenoic acid is responsible for antiplatelet effect.

This project is aiming at defining and elaborating on the connection between Omega-3 acids, and cardiovascular complications, their influence on the functioning of the cardiovascular system, and moreover, a better understanding of the effects of therapeutic and pharmacological therapies in patients at different stages of chronic kidney disease. Carrying out this project will be a good start to shape an international project in this area.

Read the detailed description

The survey will cover 90 patients from chronic kidney disease at different stages of the disease(I-III) and 30 healthy subjects as a comparison group.

At the beginning and at the end of the observation period, besides the clinical test, some other tests will be carried out: echocardiography, pulse wave velocity (PWV), ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Blood will be collected for laboratory tests such as: lipid profile, uric acid, C reactive protein (CRP), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, morphology, calcium (Ca),phosphorus (P), Ca x P, ionogram, xanthine oxidase, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MPC1),Omega-3 acids, resolvin and protectins - the metabolites of Omega-3 acids, creatinine excretion, MPC1 excretion and excretion of uric acid. The patients will be treated with Omega-3 acids as a Gold Omega 3 preparation (2x1 capsule where 1 capsule = 1000 mg) for 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gold omega 3 in people with Chronic Kidney Disease and Cardiovascular Complications, run by Collegium Medicum w Bydgoszczy at 1 site in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cardiovascular complications (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
