To investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Chinese renal transplant recipients, using two different sets of diagnostic criteria.Cross-sectional study.Regional hospital, Hong Kong.All Chinese patients who received solitary living-related or cadaveric kidney transplantation from 1 July 1997 to 31 December 2005 in our hospital with follow-up of more than 6 months were recruited. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was made according to the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATPIII) criteria and the International Diabetes Federation criteria.Using the modified (Asian) NCEP-ATPIII criteria, a total of 39 (32%) of 121 patients had metabolic syndrome, which included 20/69 (29%) of the males and 19/52 (37%) of the females. Using the International Diabetes Federation criteria, metabolic syndrome was diagnosed in 26% of the patients, 22% in males and 31% in females. In our patients, the most common component of metabolic syndrome was hypertension and the least common was low high-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol level. Low high-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were significantly more common in female patients.This study shows that there is a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in our Chinese renal transplant recipients. |
