The Impact of Pumpkin Seed Oil Supplementation on Hemodialysis Patients
Sponsor: Ain Shams University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of Pumpkin Seed Oil (PSO) supplementation on systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid profile in hemodialysis patients. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does PSO have a promising effect on systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid profile in hemodialysis patients? Patients on regular hemodialysis who take PSO supplementation will be compared to those who don't to see if PSO supplementation improves their systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid profile.
