[Metabolic syndrome in patients with gastrointestinal diseases]
Aim:
To study gastrointestinal pathology in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS).
Material And Methods:
The examination of 536 patients with MS and gastrointestinal diseases included clinical tests, biochemical hepatic tests, determination of blood lipid spectrum, x-ray of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, colon, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, ultrasonic investigation of the liver, gall bladder and pancreas. 56 patients have undergone puncture biopsy of the liver.
Results:
Esophageal, hepatic and biliary, pancreatic, colon diseases were detected in 72, 64, 18 and 74%, respectively. Clinical manifestations of these associated diseases had no definite symptoms and were characterized by cross-over syndromes.
Conclusion:
MS patients with gastrointestinal diseases showed polymorbidity. Treatment of the above diseases should be supplemented with drug correction of MS.
