Abstract
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is high in hemodialysis. MS is defined by the combination of high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, central obesity and a state of insulin resistance. The aim of this work is to see if there’s a difference by gender in the different parameters of metabolic syndrome and in cardiovascular morbidity in our hemodialysis patients. It is a cross-sectional study of 120 patients older than 18 years on hemodialysis. The metabolic syndrome was defined according to the criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III). A comparison by gender was performed for the following parameters: age, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease and heart failure. Forty chronic hemodialysis patients with metabolic syndrome have been the subject of this study. The sex ratio was 1.88 and the mean age was 55.97 years. Seventy percent had diabetes and 90% were hypertensive. Coronary artery disease was present in 57.5% of cases and heart failure in 52.5% of cases. The study by gender showed no significant difference except for the prevalence of hyper LDL cholesterol. There is a high prevalence of cardiovascular complications in men but a significant difference by gender could not be demonstrated.
