The Impact of Metabolic Syndrome on the Outcome of NASH: Cirrhosis, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, and Mortality
Current Hepatology Reports - 2018
Tóm tắt
In this review, we examine the interaction between the metabolic syndrome (MS) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and describe the impact of the features of MS on the most worrisome complications of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), (cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma) and, ultimately, on liver-related, cardiovascular, and overall mortality. Insulin resistance, obesity, and dyslipidemia in a pro-inflammatory environment have a causal role in hepatic fibrogenesis and oncogenesis in NAFLD patients. Natural history, longitudinal studies confirm the conditions linked to MS as independent predictors of overall-, cardiovascular-, and liver-related mortality. Dysmetabolic factors stemming from insulin resistance play a key role in liver damage progression. Obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2DM), dyslipidemia, and arterial hypertension are independent predictors of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis; furthermore, obesity and T2DM play a key role in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma both in cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic NASH patients.
