Background
- Prothrombotic, proimflammatory state
- May be associated with elevated CRP, IL-6, and tissue plasminogen activator, which may be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes
- Markers not shown to be of utility in the ED
Clinical Features
Although several diagnostic features exist, below is the most widely accepted: The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III)
- Diagnostic Criteria - 3 or more of the following:
- Waist circumference >/=102 cm in men or >/=88 cm in women
- Plus 3 of the following:
- Fasting blood glucose >/= to 100 mg/dL or requiring treatment for elevated blood glucose
- HDL </=40 in men or </=50 in women
- TGs >/=150 mg/dL
- BP >/= 130/85 or requiring drug treatment for HTN
Differential Diagnosis
- Hypertension
- Hyperlipidemia
- Hyperglycemia
- Hypothyroidism
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Type 2 DM
- Pheochromocytoma
- Glucagonoma
Evaluation
- Not an ED diagnosis!
- Evaluate for sequelae of associated diseases (e.g. cardiovascular disease, DM) as appropriate
- Non-ED workup may include:
- BMP
- HbA1c
- Lipid panel
- TSH
- +/- Polysomnography to evaluate for OSA
Management
- Lifestyle modification
- Metformin
- BP control(e.g. ACEi or ARBs}
- OSA treatment
- Depending on the level of obesity, and severity of the condition bariatric surgery may be advantageous to the patient
- Possible referral to obesity management clinic
Disposition
- Discharge with outpatient follow-up
