Metabolic Syndrome Severity Score Predicts Kidney Disease Risk
A patient’s continuous metabolic syndrome severity score (cMetS-S) could help predict chronic kidney disease (CKD) even if other major risk factors, such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension, are absent, according to a new report.
The study,published in the journal Kidney Diseases1, is believed to be among the first to show how the trajectory of a patient’s cMetS-S score is linked with CKD risk.

Previous research has demonstrated a notable interplay between metabolic abnormalities and renal function, including estimated glomerular infiltration rate (eGFR). A 2023 meta-analysis found that individuals with metabolic syndrome are at a significantly higher risk of renal dysfunction, including rapid eGFR decline, new-onset kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease.2 These conditions not onyl impact individual health but also create a ample economic burden for patients and healthcare systems.1 Therefore, a deeper understanding of the interrelated risks associated with CKD development, beyond traditional comorbidities like hypertension, is crucial.
The investigators highlighted the dynamic nature of metabolic syndrome and the need to explore the relationship between metabolic syndrome and CKD, notably considering its severity and trajectory.
The metabolic syndrome severity score is designed to capture this dynamism, possibly serving as a valuable tool for studying the links between metabolic syndrome and kidney disease.
