摘要

Background and Objectives: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a condition marked by a complex array of physiological, biochemical, and metabolic abnormalities, including central obesity, insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and dyslipidemia (characterized by elevated triglycerides and reduced levels of high-density lipoproteins). The pathogenesis develops from the accumulation of lipid droplets in the hepatocyte (steatosis). This accumulation, in genetically predisposed subjects and with other external stimuli (intestinal dysbiosis, high caloric diet, physical inactivity, stress), activates the production of pro-inflammatory molecules, alter autophagy, and turn on the activity of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), provoking the low grade chronic inflammation and the fibrosis. This syndrome is associated with a significantly increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), vascular, renal, pneumologic, rheumatological, sexual, cutaneous syndromes and overall mortality, with the risk rising five- to seven-fold for T2DM, three-fold for CVD, and one and a half–fold for all-cause mortality. The purpose of this narrative review is to examine metabolic syndrome as a “systemic disease” and its interaction with major internal medicine conditions such as CVD, diabetes, renal failure, and respiratory failure. It is essential for internal medicine practitioners to approach this widespread condition in a “holistic” rather than a fragmented manner, particularly in Western countries. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the non-invasive tools available for assessing this condition. Materials and Methods: We conducted an exhaustive search on PubMed up to July 2024, focusing on terms related to metabolic syndrome and other pathologies (heart, Lung (COPD, asthma, pulmonary hypertension, OSAS) and kidney failure, vascular, rheumatological (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis), endocrinological, sexual pathologies and neoplastic risks. The review was managed in accordance with the PRISMA statement. Finally, we selected 300 studies (233 papers for the first search strategy and 67 for the second one). Our review included studies that provided insights into metabolic syndrome and non-invasive techniques for evaluating liver fibrosis and steatosis. Studies that were not conducted on humans, were published in languages other than English, or did not assess changes related to heart failure were excluded. Results: The findings revealed a clear correlation between metabolic syndrome and all the pathologies above described, indicating that non-invasive assessments of hepatic fibrosis and steatosis could potentially serve as markers for the severity and progression of the diseases. Conclusions: Metabolic syndrome is a multisystem disorder that impacts organs beyond the liver and disrupts the functioning of various organs. Notably, it is linked to a higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases, independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Non-invasive assessments of hepatic fibrosis and fibrosis allow clinicians to evaluate cardiovascular risk. Additionally, the ability to assess liver steatosis may open new diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic avenues for managing metabolic syndrome and its complications, particularly cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in these patients.
