EVOO Coratina Intervention on Lipids in Non-diabetic Hypertensive Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis (EVOOC-3H)

Twenty-four non-diabetic hypertensive and hyperlipidemic patients undergoing periodic chronic hemodialysis will be enrolled for receiving extravirgin olive oil (EVOO) Coratina (12 patients) or refined olive oil (12 patients). Aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of EVOO-C on serum lipid levels. Randomization will be done centrally with appropriate stratification. Sample size is opportunistic because this is a pilot study. Dietary and clinical monitoring will be done by nephrologists, cardiologists and dieticians.
