*Mohammad S,1 Begum S,2 Saad MN,3 Naha S4
Abstract
Background: Raised level of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is found in Metabolic Syndrome patients (MS).
Objective: To observe association of serum hsCRP with Metabolic Syndrome in female patients.
Methods: This cross–sectional study was conducted from March 2019 to July 2020 in the Department of Physiology, Bangladesh Medical University (BMU), Shahbagh, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Female (n=30, 25 to 45 year) were diagnosed with MS in the study according to the criteria of International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Apparently healthy female (n=30, age matched) were included in the study as control. Serum hsCRP level was measured by Immuno-turbidimetric method and Chi-square test was done to observe associations of serum hsCRP with MS.
Results: Median value of hsCRP was found significantly higher (p value ≤0.01) in MS patients than that of control subjects. Around 53.3% of MS patients were found to have elevated level of hsCRP.
Conclusion: This study may conclude that elevated hsCRP was associated with MS.
