“…The finding of low dietary intake of n-3 PUFA in our cohort is consistent with previous studies reporting a lower intake of n-3 PUFA in the hemodialysis setting compared to the dietary guidelines for cardiovascular risk reduction [43,44]. Low dietary n-3 PUFA intake is also consistent with lower energy and other nutrient intake, including protein and fiber, by hemodialysis patients as compared to recommendations for cardiovascular prevention in the general population, and renal nutrition recommendations [45e47].…”

“…A textbook describes that patients undergoing hemodialysis with 1.0 mEq/L of Mg in the dialysate and whose dietary Mg intake ranges between 200 and 300 mg/day generally maintain serum Mg levels [27]. In this study, the median dietary Mg intake was 185 mg/day (IQR: 151-213 mg/day), which was less than the RDA but approximately equal to the values in some previous reports on patients undergoing hemodialysis [20,[28][29][30][31][32]. This may be because of the limited intake of foods, such as unrefined cereal grains, legume seeds, peas, beans, and nuts, which are rich in phosphorus and potassium, and also contain plenty of Mg [33].…”

“…Each capsule contained 360 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid and 240 mg of docosahexaenoic acid. This omega-3 dose was administered according to accepted international standards (Bossola et al 2013). Patients in the control group (group B) received 4 capsules containing paraffin oil.…”
