A new study has revealed a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in adults with mild chronic kidney disease and found that metabolic syndrome increases their risk of premature death and cardiovascular problems. The findings of the study were published in the magazine.

Among 5,110 adults in Germany who had chronic kidney disease, 64.3 percent also had metabolic syndrome. During 6.5 years of follow-up, 605 patients died and 650 experienced major cardiovascular events. Patients with metabolic syndrome had a 26 percent higher risk of dying and a 48 percent higher risk of experiencing cardiovascular events. The risk increased steadily with a growing number of metabolic syndrome components, such as increased waist circumference, blood sugar levels, triglycerides, and blood pressure, and decreased HDL cholesterol.

"Although our study uncovered a shockingly high frequency of metabolic syndrome in this high-risk patient group, there's a motivating message for our patients: each metabolic syndrome component avoided might considerably decrease the risk for a cardiovascular endpoint or premature death," said senior author Florian Kronenberg, MD, of the Medical University of Innsbruck, in Austria.
