Randomized Study of Folic Acid Therapy for Hyperhomocysteinemia in Patients With End Stage Renal Disease Receiving Hemodialysis

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: End Stage Renal Disease, Hyperhomocysteinemia

In brief

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the efficacy of two doses of folic acid in normalizing plasma total homocysteine concentration in patients with end stage renal disease receiving regular hemodialysis therapy resulting in hyperhomocysteinemia. II. Determine the requirement of co-supplementation with extra pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) daily in these patients. III. Assess the safety and tolerability of this therapy in these patients.
