Background and Objectives Protein energy wasting and systemic inflammation are prevalent in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Omega-3 (omega-3) fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties and have been shown to improve protein homeostasis. We hypothesized that administration of high-dose (2.9 g/d) omega-3 would be associated with decreased muscle protein breakdown in MHD patients with systemic inflammation.
