Article Synopsis
- The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is linked to higher levels of urinary albumin (UA) and C-reactive protein (CRP), but differences in their relationships based on race/ethnicity are not fully understood.
- A study analyzing NHANES data focused on adults with MetS, finding that CRP influences the correlation between waist circumference (WC) and microalbuminuria (MA) in Whites and Hispanics, but not in Blacks.
- The results suggest that incorporating CRP data enhances UA prediction, especially in Black individuals, indicating a potential benefit for CRP screening in MetS patients, mainly among the Black population.
