The study involved 709 postmenopausal women from the Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study (KEEPS).

n-3 PUFAs are renoprotective in diabetics

As published in Diabetes Care, n-3 PUFA supplementation (4 g/d x 6 w) in patients with diabetes (n=29) resulted in decreased urine NGAL excretion; there was no effect on urine albumin excretion, serum markers of kidney function, and eGFR. In patients taking RAAS blockers, n-3 PUFA supplementation decreased albumin excretion, NGAL, LFABP, and NAG.

Further hyperhomocysteinaemia (> 15 µmol/L) was reported to be associated with all-cause mortality (HR=1.47).
