Popis: Mineral oil has been used in the treatment of constipation in hemodialysis patients. Edible oils could also be a good option for treating this symptom. Therefore we aimed to investigate the effect of flaxseed and olive oils on constipation of hemodialysis patients. This trial was conducted for 4 weeks. Constipation was diagnosed by Rome III criterion. Thirty six constipated patients (18M, 51.0±12.2 years) were randomized into Mineral oil (MG; n=11), Flaxseed oil (FG; n=11) and Olive oil (OG; n=14) groups. The initial dose of each oil was 4 ml/d and was adjusted as needed. There was no difference in total oil used among groups (150.7±43.7 ml, 165.8±53.3 ml, 144.4±49.5 ml, respectively; p=0.61). The prevalence of each Roma III criterion item was similar among the groups.
