Ninety-four patients treated with peritoneal dialysis were included in the study. Patients' age, sex, weight, waist circumference, arterial blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, C-reactive protein, albumin, uric acid and fibrinogen levels were recorded. Fourty-one patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome and 53 peritoneal dialysis patients without metabolic syndrome were identified. In the metabolic syndrome group mean decrease in serum albumin and mean increase in C-reactive protein and fibrinogen was significantly different from the other group (p < 0.05, p < 0.05, p < 0.05, respectively). When gender, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension status were evaluated, the difference was not significant (p > 0.05). Peritoneal dialysis patients with metabolic syndrome should also be assessed for inflammation.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessperitoneal dialysismetabolic syndromeC-reactive proteinealbuminuric acidfibrinogenArticle10220320710.1177/1721727X12010002052-s2.0-84867217123Q4WOS:000308771600005N/A
