While some studies have demonstrated a relationship between tHcy and VAT, this study found that chronically high homocysteine levels in patients with ESRD were not associated with incidence of VAT. There were no significant differences in the number of VATs across additional variables of age and gender.

Potential reasons for this non-significant result may be found in a dose-response relationship, advancement of disease progression in our sample population, or potentially the lack of a significant relationship between fish oil and tHcy. Future studies should address whether a dose-response relationship between n-3 fatty acid supplementation and tHcy levels exists, and how stage of disease progression affects intervention success or failure.
