Aim  To examine the association between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) using both International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP‐ATPIII) definitions in Chinese subjects with Type 2 diabetes. Methods  Subjects with Type 2 diabetes were categorized according to the presence or absence of MetS by IDF or NCEP‐ATPIII criteria. CKD was considered present if glomerular filtration rate, calculated using the abbreviated equation developed by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study with Chinese modification, was
