4. Fight autoimmune diseases

In autoimmune diseases like IgA Nephropathy, Lupus Nephritis and Purpura Nephritis, the immune system mistakes healthy cells for foreign cells and starts attacking them. Omega-3 can help fight some of these diseases. Studies show that getting enough omega-3 is linked to a reduced risk of many autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes, autoimmune diabetes in adults and lupus, etc.

Omega-3 can improve bone strength by increasing the amount of calcium in bones. This can lead to a reduced risk of osteoporosis. Bone problem is also a common complication in kidney patients. It is necessary for PKD patients to consume omega-3 to prevent bone problems.
