Nuevos enfoques en la detección de la enfermedad de síndrome metabólico mediante pruebas de laboratorio

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is recognized as one of the main public health problems as it is related to cardiovascular risk factors that include central obesity, dyslipidemia, glucose metabolic abnormalities, arterial hypertension, conditions that have important implications in the rates of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The objective: of the study was to analyze and evaluate new approaches in the detection of metabolic syndrome through laboratory tests. Methods: this was a descriptive bibliographic research, carried out from high-impact scientific bases such as: PubMed, Scielo, ELSEVIER and BVS and was directed by PRISMA parameters. Results: the literature review yielded a total of 16 updated articles directly related to laboratory parameters for the diagnosis of MS. Conclusions: Through the bibliographic review it was possible to conclude that the main diagnostic criteria for MS are those proposed by NCEP-ATP III, which stipulates at an analytical level: triglycerides 1.7 mmol/l; HDL: 1.3 mmol/l and fasting glucose: ≥110 mg/dl or 6.1 mmol/l, parameters that in most cases are generalized to the population without taking into account relevant inferences that merit adjustments such as age, gender, presence of chronic diseases or treatments.
