Metabolic syndrome in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: Association with disease activity, disease damage and age

Abstract: The frequency of MetS was not significantly different from that of the control group, but almost half of the patients were found with this syndrome. This calls for further follow up and appropriate treatment of patients with MetS.

“…In several studies, SLE patients with dyslipidemia had a higher frequency of glucocorticoid administration, around of 70% [6,35], while in the present study, it was only 31%. In contrast, the antimalarial pharmacotherapy was higher in our study, reaching almost 90% of SLE patients, considering CQ and HCQ administration, while in other studies the combined frequency has been described less than 64% [34,35].…”

“…However, in our study, SLE patients presented normal serum levels of lipid pro le, with lower levels of TG, TC, and LDL-C compared with other studies performed in SLE patients [6,33,34]. Serum HDL-C levels in the present study were found within the normal range with higher values compared to other studies [6,33].…”

“…Notably, it has been reported that obese SLE patients have increased gene and protein expression of several pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-23 [45] and TNF-α, associated with total fat mass in pediatric SLE patients [46]. This inflammation status associated with obesity creates a background with an increased likelihood to develop complications such as metabolic syndrome in SLE patients [47,48]. In experimental studies, it has been suggested that high levels of adipocytokines such as leptin could be related to the development of autoimmunity in obese SLE-prone mice [49,50].…”

“…Nevertheless, the metabolic abnormalities of other immune cells are less understood in SLE. Increased occurrences of metabolic syndrome are observed among lupus patients, which is closely related to both atherosclerosis and multiple organ injury [ [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] ]. Metabolomics demonstrate that intermediates related to main metabolic pathways were altered in patients with SLE by analyzing blood and urine samples [ [11] , [12] , [13] ].…”
