Background More and more evidences show that metabolic syndrome (MS) is closely related to clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), but the impact of MS on Fuhrman grade and TNM stage of ccRCC is rarely reported. Purpose To explore the relationship between MS and its components of Fuhrman grade and TNM stage in ccRCC. Objective The clinical data of 247 patients with ccRCC diagnosed in our hospital from January 2016 to November 2020 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Based on diagnostic criteria of MS, the patients were divided into MS and non-MS group. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors of ccRCC. Results The incidence of MS was 32.79% (81/247). There was no significant difference in age, gender, smoking and drinking between MS group and non-MS group (P > 0.05). In MS group, BMI ≥25kg/m2, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, tumor diameter, poorly differentiated renal cancer, high-stage renal cancer, triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, fasting insulin and homeostasis model assessment index were significantly higher than those in non-MS group (P < 0.001), while in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (p < 0.005), islet beta cell secretory index (P < 0.001), well-differentiated renal cell carcinoma (P= 0.009), and low-stage renal cell carcinoma (P = 0.019) were significantly lower than that of non-MS group. Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension (P = 0.005), diabetes (P = 0.012), hyperlipidemia (P = 0.021) are independent risk factors for Fuhrman grade of ccRCC, while diabetes (P = 0.002), hyperlipidemia (P = 0.007) are independent risk factors for TNM staging of ccRCC. Conclusion The patients with ccRCC and MS had higher Fuhrman grade and TNM stage. MS is an independent risk factor for Fuhrman grade and TNM stage of ccRCC.
