Objectives. We investigated the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MS) in kidney transplantation patients and assessed its development based on plasma adiponectin levels and the results of an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Methods. We performed a cross-sectional study of 94 recipients with stable graft function who underwent kidney transplantation between January 1999 and October 2008. The presence of MS was determined using National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) criteria with body mass index (BMI) used in place of waist circumference. In addition, we measured plasma adiponectin level and performed a 75-g oral GTT. Results. Fourteen (14.9 %) recipients suffered from MS for a mean period of 46.7 months (range, 1-106) after transplantation. BMI at the time of transplantation was significantly greater in the MS group (23.4 ± 3.24 vs 20.1 ± 2.50; P
