Metabolic syndrome associated with increased risk of chronic kidney disease - 04/2005

The metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease in U.S. adults. - 2005

In this new analysis of data from the NHANES III cohort, the multivariate-adjusted odds ratios of chronic kidney disease and microalbuminuria in participants with the metabolic syndrome compared with those without were 2.60 (95% CI, 1.68 to 4.03) and 1.89 (CI, 1.34 to 2.67), respectively. Chronic kidney disease was defined as a glomerular filtration rate less than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2, and microalbuminuria was defined as a urinary albumin-creatinine ratio of 30 to 300 mg/g.
