Abstract
Objective: To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in renal transplant recipients (RTR) using the modified Asian National Cholesterol Education Programme-Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) criteria. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 RTRs between January 2008 - August 2008. All were more than six months post transplant and above 18 years of age. Subjects with pre-transplant diabetes or New Onset Diabetes Mellitus after renal transplantation, with overt infections, dyslipidaemia or on lipid lowering medication and taking immunosuppressive drugs of the target organ inhibitor group as rapamycin, were excluded.
