The magnitude of obesity and metabolic syndrome among diabetic chronic kidney disease population: A nationwide study.

Characteristics of each component of MetS between early and late stage of CKD For individual component of MetS in diabetic CKD group, elevated serum triglyceride and low HDL-C levels significantly increased with the higher stage of CKD compared with CKD stage 3 ( p <0.001) ( Fig 2 ), whereas the proportion of patients with abdominal obesity as well as elevated blood pressure in late stage of CKD seemed to be higher than the early-phase CKD but it did not reach statistical significance (70.1% vs 72.3%, p = 0.10 and 93.9% vs 94.5%, p = 0.32, respectively).
