Relationship between Metabolic Syndrome and Subclinial Inflammatory Factors in Type 2 Diabetes

Objective To investigate the changes of the levels of high sensitivity reactive protein C (hsCRP), white blood cell (WBC) and fibrinogen (FIB) in type 2 diabetic patients with metabolic syndrom (MS). Method 323 inpatients with type 2 diabetes were divided into MS group and non-MS group according to their clinical dates, and the changes of the levels of hsCRP, WBC and FIB in the two groups and the relationship between their levels and MS were analyzed. Results Compared to non-MS group, the levels of hsCRP, WBC, FIB in MS group were increased obviously (P0.05 or P0.01), and the levels increased with number of MS components. After adjusted by age, gender, accessible diabetic history and smooking, the levels of WBC, hsCRP, FIB were still independently correlated with MS. Conclusion The levels of WBC, hsCRP, FIB are closely related with MS. These subclinical inflammatory index can be used for evalutation of MS.
