      Background:<br> Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). An association between haptoglobin genotype 2 - 2 and cardiovascular disease has been found in patients with diabetes mellitus and liver transplant recipients. To date, the role of haptoglobin genotype after renal transplantation has not been studied. <br>Methods:<br> In this single centre ...

      Marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may improve cardiovascular, renal, and mental health. No previous trial has investigated the effects of marine n-3 PUFA supplementation on quality of life (QoL) indices after renal transplant.<p><p> <i>Methods</i> - In this trial, 132 renal transplant recipients were randomized to receive daily either 2.6 g of marine n-3 PUFAs or an equivalent dose ...
