Abstract

Objective: This study assessed the effects of Aloe vera supplementation on serum inflammatory factors, blood sugar and lipid profiles in hemodialysis patients.

Materials and methods: Totally, 50 hemodialysis patients were allocated randomly to either Aloe vera or placebo groups. The Aloe vera group received 2 Aloe vera capsules daily for 8 weeks (500 mg/day). Serum C-reactive protein (hs- CRP), Fasting blood glucose (FBS), and lipid profiles levels were evaluated at the baseline and the end of the eighth week.

Results: Aloe vera supplementation for 8 weeks was associated with a significant reduction of serum hs- CRP (p=0.004), total cholesterol (p=0.01), low density lipoprotein (LDL) (p=0.02) leves and increased high density lipoprotein (HDL) (p=0.002) concentration in the hemodialysis patients.

Conclusion: Aloe vera supplementation is beneficial in improvement of cardiovascular risk factors in hemodialysis patients.

目的本研究评估了补充芦荟对血液透析患者血清炎症因子、血糖和血脂的影响:将 50 名血液透析患者随机分配到芦荟组和安慰剂组。芦荟组每天服用 2 粒芦荟胶囊(500 毫克/天),连续服用 8 周。在基线和第八周结束时对血清 C 反应蛋白(hs- CRP)、空腹血糖(FBS)和血脂水平进行了评估:结果:血液透析患者补充芦荟 8 周后,血清 hs- CRP(p=0.004)、总胆固醇(p=0.01)、低密度脂蛋白(LDL)(p=0.02)水平明显降低,高密度脂蛋白(HDL)(p=0.002)浓度明显升高:结论:补充芦荟有益于改善血液透析患者的心血管风险因素。
