The study is a survey to answer the specific question, "What is the prevalence of metabolic
syndrome in maintenance hemodialysis patients?" Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of
conditions that increase an individual's risk for developing cardiovascular disease and
diabetes.
Risk factors for metabolic syndrome will be collected for each consented patient. They
include elevated serum triglycerides, reduced HDL cholesterol, hypertension, elevated
fasting blood sugar concentration and abdominal obesity. The investigator will measure
waist circumference of each consented patient in a secure area according to standardized
procedures. The other data is available from the patient's medical record.
