ABSTRACT
Marine n-3 fatty acids (FAs) may exert beneficial effects on inflammation, fibrosis, and endothelial function, which could preserve renal graft function. In this randomized controlled trial, 132 Norwegian renal transplant recipients received either 2.6 g of marine n-3 FAs or olive oil (control) daily for 44 weeks, in addition to standard care. Thirty patients did not complete the trial. The primary endpoint was change (Δ) in measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) during follow-up. We found no significant difference in Δ mGFR between the marine n-3 FA group and controls (6.7 vs 3.8 mL/min per 1.73 m2 , P = .15). Significant beneficial effects from marine n-3 FA supplementation were, however, seen in secondary endpoints plasma triglycerides, plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and brachial artery flow-mediated dilation. In the per-protocol population, the renal graft indices percent interstitial fibrosis and Chronic Allograft Damage Index also were significantly lower in the marine n-3 FA group. The cumulative incidence of adverse events did not differ between the marine n-3 FA group (n = 218) and controls (n = 240). In conclusion, marine FA supplementation did not improve renal function compared with controls, but was safe, lowered plasma triglyceride and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels, and improved endothelial function (Clinical.Trials.gov identifier NCT01744067).
