The metabolic syndrome is one of the most common disease of our era that may cause numerous complications. There are some studies showing the need to take attention to the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome besides its already well-known consequences. In most of the cases there are histopathological evidences for the presence of fatty liver and mainly non alcoholic steatohepatitis. These conditions can lead to hepatic cirrhosis, hepatic failure or even to hepatocellular carcinoma. The risk of these consequences is the greater the more severe the metabolic syndrome is and the more components of it are included. All these emphasise the importance of examining the hepathological status of the patients suffering from the metabolic syndrome.
代谢综合征是我们这个时代最常见的疾病之一，可能会引发众多并发症。有一些研究表明，除了其已为人熟知的后果外，还需要关注代谢综合征的肝脏表现。在大多数情况下，有组织病理学证据表明存在脂肪肝，主要是非酒精性脂肪性肝炎。这些情况可导致肝硬化、肝衰竭甚至肝细胞癌。代谢综合征越严重，包含的组成部分越多，这些后果的风险就越大。所有这些都强调了检查代谢综合征患者肝脏病理状态的重要性。
