Large amounts of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are known to lower the risk of cardiovascular events (CVE). Serum eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) / arachidonic acid (AA) ratio may potentially be a predictor of CVE which is the most common cause of death in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Therefore, we esti...
