Abstract :

Low–grade inflammation is characteristic of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), The aim of this study to investigate the relationship between serum CRP with metabolic syndrome and associated microvascular complications.The present study provides evidence that CRP levels are elevated in MetS subjects. In addition, it could be predictor for development of microvascular complications in MetS patients.
