Aim: Metabolic syndrome is a group of diseases characterized by the coexistence of cardiometabolic risk factors such as abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, and high blood pressure. Metabolic syndrome is a common disease that can lead to high mortality with cardiovascular complications. Many studies are ongoing for laboratory parameters that can be used in the early diagnosis of this syndrome, but for daily clinical use and the diagnostic criteria, any parameter has not been revealed yet. We planned to carry out this study to predict the usability of uric acid and HSCRP, which have been reported to be associated with metabolic syndrome in the literature in clinical practice.
Material and Methods: Patients with metabolic syndrome who applied to Ankara Training and Research Hospital's Internal Medicine department outpatient clinic for any reason within nine months were included in the study group. In the same period, completely healthy cases who applied to the outpatient clinic for any reason were included in the control group. Demographic data, physical examination findings, anthropometric measurement results, biochemical parameters, and HSCRP levels of the cases were recorded. Metabolic syndrome and the control group were analyzed for uric acid and HSCRP values. SPSS 25.0 was used for statistical analysis. The data were evaluated within the 95% confidence interval, and p
