Effect of Intravenous ω‐3 Fatty Acid Infusion and Hemodialysis on Fatty Acid Composition of Free Fatty Acids and Phospholipids in Patients With End‐Stage Renal Disease

Abstract

Intravenous ω-3 PUFAs administered during HD caused a transient selective increase in ω-3 FFA concentration. Furthermore, ω-3 PUFAs were rapidly incorporated into platelets, and the content of ω-3 PUFAs in plasma phospholipids increased after 48 hours.
