| Title: | Management of Dyslipidemia in Patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. |
| Abstract: | PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), often considered as the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome, represent a population at high cardiovascular risk and frequently suffer from atherogenic dyslipidemia. This article reviews the pathogenic interrelationship between NAFLD and dyslipidemia, elucidates underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and focuses on management approaches for dyslipidemic patients with NAFLD. RECENT FINDINGS: Atherogenic dyslipidemia in patients with NAFLD results from hepatic and peripheral insulin resistance along with associated alterations of hepatic glucose and lipoprotein metabolism, gut dysbiosis, and genetic factors. Since atherogenic dyslipidemia and NAFLD share a bi-directional relationship and are both major driving forces of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) development, early detection and adequate treatment are warranted. Thus, integrative screening and management programs are urgently needed. A stepwise approach for dyslipidemic patients with NAFLD includes (i) characterization of dyslipidemia phenotype, (ii) individual risk stratification, (iii) definition of treatment targets, (iv) lifestyle modification, and (v) pharmacotherapy if indicated. |
