Metabolic syndrome is associated with higher morbidity and mortality in the general population, but the corresponding effects in patients on dialysis have not been clearly defined. In this study, we prospectively investigated the effect of metabolic syndrome and its individual components on outcome in non-diabetic peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Method. The study subjects included 106 stable non-diabetic PD patients who had been on PD for >3 months. We measured baseline characteristics, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, lipid profiles and high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP), and defined metabolic syndrome using the modified National Cholesterol Education Program (Adult Treatment Panel III) criteria. Mortality, technical failure and hospitalization were evaluated during the follow-up period.
