Abstract Background: Metabolic Syndrome is an aggregation of conditions that together increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in individuals that would not otherwise be recognized to be at risk. The lack of a consensus definition of Metabolic Syndrome, debate about its etiology and pathogenesis and lack of a consensus document for its treatment contribute to this confusion. Chronic, sub-clinical inflammation and its association with Metabolic Syndrome is a well documented. Inflammatory mediators have been recognized as factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Objectives: to assess the status of high sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with Metabolic Syndrome. Methods: This study is a case-control study based on New National Cholesterol Education Programme Adult Treatment Panel III which approved the criteria of metabolic syndrome, The patients included in this study were 48 patients (of both sexes) attending the Diabetic Consultant Clinic for follow up and monitoring therapy during the period from January, 2010 till the end of September, 2010, The study included another 48 apparently healthy volunteer that were comparable to patients group with respect to age and sex and serve as a control group. They were screened for Metabolic Syndrome criteria: namely, high blood pressure, high body mass index, high fasting blood sugar, high triglyceride, low high density lipoprotein; a significant difference was found between patients and controls with respect to FBS,BMI, TG, HDL and BP (P Keywords metabolic syndrome --- hs-CRP --- البروتين التفاعلي سي عالي الحساسية، المتلازمة الأيضية. | ||
