ABSTRACT

Background and objective: The metabolic syndrome has been conceptualized as a clustering of metabolic risk factors. Therefore, the main objective of the study is to analyse the relationship between inflammatory markers and the metabolic syndrome. Material and methods: This descriptive study was conducted in Post Graduate Medical Institute (PGMI), Lahore during October 2018 to March 2019. This study was done with the permission of ethical committee of hospital. The data was collected from 250 patients of both genders. The study groups were divided into three main parts. Results: The data was collected from 250 patients from which 150 females and 100 males. In the second group C-reactive protein is higher than in the first group with statistical significance (p = 0.02). Leukocytes have a less important value in establishing proinflammatory and cardiovascular risk contribution in patients with metabolic syndrome compared with C-reactive protein. Conclusion: It is concluded that obesity is the main factor of metabolic syndrome. Patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome present an activated inflammatory status. Inflammatory syndrome is expressed according to the number of metabolic syndrome components.
