A4142 Omega-3 fatty acid has effect on improvement of peripheral artery disease in correlation with degree of lowering remnant-like lipoprotein cholesterol in hemodialysis patients with dyslipidemia

Objectives: Recently, we showed the therapeutic effect of high dose omega-3 fatty acid (EPA/DHA) on peripheral artery disease (PAD) by lowering remnant-like lipoprotein cholesterol (RLP-C) in hemodialysis patients with dyslipidemia. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether improving effect on PAD by lowering RLP-C can be observed even in low dose of EPA/DHA. Methods: We randomly assigned 38 hemodialysis patients with dyslipidemia to...
