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