Prevalence and determinants of the metabolic syndrome among subjects with advanced nondiabetes-related chronic kidney disease in Gran Canaria, Spain.

Background: The relationship between the metabolic syndrome and mild chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been extensively studied. This study was aimed to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with the metabolic syndrome among subjects with advanced stages of nondiabetes-related CKD.

Methods: Study population was composed of incident patients with advanced CKD not related to diabetes in a tertiary hospital from Gran Canaria (Spain) since February 2011 to December 2014.

The specific relationship between vitamin D deficiency and diabetic nephropathy among patients with advanced chronic kidney disease: a cross-sectional study in Gran Canaria, Spain.

Aims: Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in subjects with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), but diabetes, the most common cause of CKD, has also been linked to low levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]. We compare vitamin D status between subjects with type 2 diabetes-related advanced CKD and subjects with either advanced CKD without diabetes or type 2 diabetes without advanced CKD.

Methods: Subjects were patients with advanced CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.

Potential implications of the choice among three alternative treatment targets for apolipoprotein B100 in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

This study analyses discordance rates between attainment of therapeutic goals for apolipoprotein B100 (apoB) and both low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in a sample of 152 patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease from Gran Canaria (Spain), using treatment targets recommended by the American Diabetes Association/American College of Cardiology (ADA/ACC), the European Society of Cardiology/European Atherosclerosis Society (ESC/EAS) and by a Spanish population-based study. Among subjects with LDL-C levels at therapeutic goal, apoB was above target in 16.3% (ADA/ACC), 6.

Non-albuminuric renal disease among subjects with advanced stages of chronic kidney failure related to type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Urinary albumin excretion has been consistently found to be normal in a significant number of subjects with early stages of diabetic kidney disease. This study was aimed to estimate the prevalence and characteristics of non-albuminuric chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus among subjects who reach advanced stages of renal failure. Study population was composed of incident patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/min) related to type 2 diabetes in a tertiary hospital from Gran Canaria (Spain) during a period of 2 years.

Metabolic syndrome in Argentine women: ATPIII, IDF, IDF/AHA/NHLBI; what criterion should be used?

Introduction: The menopause and the metabolic syndrome (MS) are related with the increase of the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Objectives: To evaluate the existence of metabolic risk factors and the prevalence of MS in pre- and post-menopausal women.

Subjects: 253 women: 120 pre-menopausal and 133 post-menopausal.
