    Metabolic syndrome is characterized by abdominal obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia. Untreated, it increases the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and premature mortality. Diagnosis requires elevated waist circumference plus two other factors such as high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, or high fasting glucose. Additional metabolic abnormalities include abnormal fat distribution, atherogenic dyslipidemia, dysglycemia, insulin resistance, and proinflammatory and prothrombotic states. Good screening and treatment can help manage the condition and its underlying pathophysiology.

    Metabolic syndrome.

    Current understanding of the pathophysiology

    Risk factors:
    - Hypertension
    - Hyperglycemia
    - Dyslipidemia
    - Abdominal obesity

    Untreaded syndrome will cause:


    - Risk for diabetes II
    - Cardiovascular disease
    - Kidney disease
    - Premature mortality

    Diagnostic criteria international diabetes federation (IDF)


    Elevated waist circumference Abdominal obesity 94cm h y 80cm m
    Raised tryglicerids
    Reduced HDL cholesterol
    Raised blood pressure
    Raised fasting glucose in the plasma

    Additional metabolic measurements for research:


    - Abnormal body fat distribution
    - Atherogenic dyslipidemia (high tryglicerid and low HDL)
    - Dysglicaemia
    - Insuline resistance
    - Vascular dysregulation
    - Proinflammatory state
    - Prothrombotic state
    - Hormonal factors

    High volumes of glucose will make the blood more dense and peripherical clots will be
    formed

    Trate good the condition good screening

    Pathophysiology
    - Adipokines
