Garlic supplement shows promise for dialysis patients
NCT ID NCT07461012
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether garlic supplements can improve blood vessel function and reduce inflammation in adults with kidney failure who are on hemodialysis. Fifty-eight patients took garlic extract or a placebo for a period of time. Researchers measured markers of inflammation and blood vessel health to see if garlic could lower the risk of heart problems, a common complication in dialysis patients.
