title: Identification of modifiable chronic kidney disease risk factors by gender in an African-American metabolic syndrome cohort.
abstract: African Americans experience a disproportionately greater burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 5 than Caucasians and other minority groups. Precursors to CKD may also be components of metabolic syndrome. This study identified modifiable risk factors for CKD in an African-American metabolic syndrome cohort and compared results by gender. Both men and women (52%) had blood pressure values of 130/80 or higher, impaired fasting glucose levels of 100 to 125 mg/dL (25.5%), and body mass index greater than 25 (98.9%). There was no significant difference between genders. Appropriate clinical management of these factors may prevent or delay the onset of CKD.
