| Popis: | BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES : The metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The present study was aimed to know the relationship between serum ferritin and metabolic syndrome and to evaluate its relationship with individual component of metabol ic syndrome. METHODOLOGY: The present study was conducted in the Departmen t of Medicine. SS Institute of Medical S ciences and Medical Research Centre, Davangere during the study period from January 2014 to December 2014. Based on NCEP ATP III criteria, 100 cases with metabolic syndrome were enrolled . Serum ferritin was measured on fasting blood samples using radio - immunoassay. RESULTS: In this study, male preponderance was noticed. The most common age group was 51 to 60 years (30%) and ov erall, the mean age was 55.84± 15.04 years. The commonest component of metabolic syndrome was hypertension 88%. Lipid abnormalities revealed raised serum cholesterol, LDL, TG and low HDL among 61%, 15%, 86% and 81% respectively. Results of the present study showed serum ferri tin was elevated significantly in individual components of metabolic syndrome (Hypertension, waist circumference, low HDL levels) though serum ferritin were elevated in patients of FBS and Triglyceride abnormality, but it was of statistically insignificant . CONCLUSION AND INTERPRETATION : Serum ferritin as a marker of metabolic syndrome was inconclusive but was raised significantly in individual components of metabolic syndrome. |
