Fish Oil May Prevent Sudden Cardiac Death in Dialysis Patients
Medical research has always stressed on the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids, present in abundance in fish oil, on overall health. Some of the conclusive benefits of fish oil include slowing of the body aging process, lowered inflammation, a decrease in the risk of heart diseases, diabetes, arthritis and Alzheimer disease.
Only recently did medical research discover the benefits of fish oil for hemodialysis patients, who Nike Air Max 1 happen to be at the highest risk for sudden cardiac death. Sudden cardiac death can be described as unexpected death caused due to cardiac reasons occurring in a short span of time, usually within an hour of symptom onset, in an individual with both, a known or even an unknown, cardiac disease.
Dialysis is a treatment administered to those who have suffered a severe kidney failure. When the kidneys fail to function effectively, fluids and waste products build up in the blood. At this point dialysis can intervene and take over a certain portion of the failing kidneys in terms of removing these waste products and fluids. Dialysis usually comes into question when 90 percent or more of kidney function is being compromised. Hemodialysis refers to dialysis treatment administered at home or at a dialysis center.
The Link between Fish Oil, Dialysis and Cardiac Death?
A study published in the online journal Kidney International on 6th Abercrombie Vancouver Feb 2013 is the first study ever conducted to examine the effect of omega 3 fatty Mbt Calgary acids Air Max 90 Canada (found copiously in fish oil) on preventing people on hemodialysis dying from cardiac deaths. The study consisted of a pool of participants of 100 individuals who died of sudden cardiac death and 300 of those who survived, all during the first year of their hemodialysis treatment.
The study was conducted by professors at the Indiana University School of Medicine. Tiffany & Co Canada The risk of death is supposedly at its highest in the first few months of the treatment, with the most common cause of death being cardiac death, accounting for about one in every four deaths attributed to this treatment.
After establishing a correlation between omega 3 fatty acids and cardiac death of patients on hemodialysis, one of the greatest conclusive derivations and findings of the study revolves around the kind of diet that should be prescribed to patients on this treatment.
Since certain foods consist of a higher content of omega 3 fatty acids than others, such as fish oil, it is highly essential that patients on hemodialysis embrace the benefits of fish oil in regards to their condition and incorporate it in their diets on a regular basis.
