Book excerpt: India in particular and South-Asia in general have witnessed a rapid increase in the prevalence and incidence of cardiovascular disease over the past 25 years. Lifestyles changes, unhealthy diet, lack of regular physical exercise, and obesity have all led to rising prevalence of metabolic syndrome. It is of no wonder that metabolic syndrome is being increasingly recognized as a clinical entity which is believed to be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease beyond individual risk factors, though this is at times debated. This monograph addresses the total nuance of metabolic syndrome in its entirety and answers questions frequently asked on this subject. The authors are internationally respected investigators in their own right having made major contributions in the particular field and are revered teachers as well. The book itself has clear sections which makes it very user friendly and divided into two volumes. The book rightfully deals with management of the syndrome and lays emphases not only on lifestyle measures (which are a cornerstone) but also judicious use of pharmacotherapy and also surgical techniques currently in use.

The book itself has clear sections which makes it very user friendly and divided into two volumes. The first volume has the evaluation of metabolic syndrome and the vastness of the problem and how it leads to smouldering dysfunctional endothelium making such a patient vulnerable to vascular disease. It purely deals with clinical issues we face daily in metabolic syndrome and patients. It is fairly broad-based to answer most of the queries which arise in a busy clinician’s head while dealing with metabolic syndrome on a day-to-day basis. Of special interest are chapters on metabolic syndrome in children, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and hypogonadism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiometabolic disease is the leading cause of death in many parts of the world. There are many potentially modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors associated with the same. Although with the recent advances in management and preventive strategies the mortality rates have reduced, but no patient actually achieves an adequate control of the CVD risk factors with the declining quality of life. In addition, growing obesity and DM in younger age groups has further undermined the improvements achieved in CVD. Diabetes and CVD share a "common soil" in their etiology and the causative factors for these diseases are termed as "cardiometabolic risk factors." Cardiometabolic risk (CMR) is the global risk of developing type 2 diabetes and CVD. CMR factors include overweight or obesity, high blood glucose, HTN, dyslipidemia, inflammation and hypercoagulation, physical inactivity, smoking, age, race and ethnicity, gender, and family history. Among these, age, race/ethnicity, gender, and family history are non-modifiable risk factors. The remaining are modifiable risk factors and closely interrelated. Recently, systematic prospective studies have shown evidences that moderate lifestyle modifications help in reducing the metabolic risk factors. The major principles include cessation of smoking, enhanced physical activity, and reduction of excess weight. Healthy diet also has a major role in controlling overweight and maintaining ideal weight. Each of the risk factors poses a danger to good health; the propensity increases with multiple risk factors. It is also shown that the CMR factors tend to cluster as the metabolic syndrome. This book is designed to address such questions with supportive typical clinical scenarios, with which all readers will be able to identify. Thus it provides an excellent opportunity to widen one’s perspective in this area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with a greater risk of developing atherosclerotic macrovascular diseases like myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. There is 2- to 4-fold increased risk of atherosclerotic heart disease and stroke in diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic patients. As the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing rapidly, this diabetes related atherosclerotic disease is predicted to be a major public health problem. Atherosclerosis is a complex process and in diabetic patients, it behaves differently with increased lesion progression and severity. This accelerated atherosclerotic process in diabetics is explained on the basis of several risk factors like hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, accelerated formation of advanced glycation end products, increased oxidative stress, and genetic factors. It is difficult to establish precisely the elements responsible for this atherosclerosis in diabetics, but by epidemiological, clinical, and by animal studies, it has been possible to get an idea of this problem in diabetics. Of the several risk factors for atherosclerosis in diabetes, dyslipidemia is the leading one, and an insight into the pathophysiologic relation of isolated triglyceridemia in Indian diabetics with the identification of the targets for control of lipids in diabetes (practical vs. ideal) needs to be well understood by the treating physician. This book is designed to address such issues with supportive typical clinical scenarios, with which the readers will be able to identify. Thus, it provides an excellent opportunity to widen one’s perspective in this area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The insulin resistance syndrome can be defined as insulin resistance, compensatory hyperinsulinemia, and their associated co-morbidities. Clinically, the term insulin resistance syndrome describes a constellation of abnormalities such as obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes/hyperglycemia, and coronary artery disease. Insulin is responsible for glucose uptake into the body cells and tissues. The response of the cells to insulin varies from individual to individual. In some individuals, the tissue response to insulin may be diminished. This means that even with adequate levels of insulin, the glucose uptake into the cells and tissues is not optimal. This results in a compensatory over-secretion of insulin from the pancreas. The persistence of high levels of insulin in the blood or hyperinsulinemia is thought to be responsible for some of the abnormalities associated with this condition. However, the exact causal association of the condition with these disorders and the pathophysiology of their evolution are unclear. The most common underlying mechanism proposed is increased free fatty acids from abdominal fat in individuals with central obesity. This leads to deranged insulin signaling, reduced muscular glucose uptake, increased triglyceride synthesis, and hepatic gluconeogenesis. A genetic basis of the disease as well as several other factors such as tumor necrosis factor-a, adiponectin, leptin, Interleukin-6, and some adipokines have also been implicated. Insulin resistance syndrome is of clinical significance because of its association with potentially debilitating conditions that contribute to long-term morbidity and even mortality of the individual. People with insulin resistance syndrome are at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, myocardial infarction, polycystic ovarian disease, and fatty liver. In this book, we have tried to collate the experiences of the pioneers of this field on the subject and provide the reader a comprehensive view on the topic along with practical management points, which we are sure will benefit the physicians in their clinical practice. The contributors have focused on the condition as is prevalent in our subcontinent and have tried to give an insight on the issues pertaining to the same with a topical flavor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hepatic encephalopathy is the clinical syndrome resulting from increased ammonia levels in blood. The most common cause of HE is chronic liver disease. However, acute liver failure, Reye’s syndrome, or metabolic defects are other causes. The true prevalence of overt HE is difficult to establish because of the considerable heterogeneity in etiology and disease severity. However, HE has been reported to be present in around 50% of patients with cirrhosis or with porto-caval shunts at some time during their illness. It is less common in patients with portosystemic shunts without liver disease. Thirty percent of patients dying of end-stage liver disease experience significant encephalopathy, approaching coma. After TIPS placement, approximately 1/3 of patients will experience overt HE. Minimal HE (MHE) is difficult to diagnose due to lack of standard diagnostic tests. Its clinical significance with regards to progression to overt encephalopathy has however, not been established. Conventional treatment of hepatic encephalopathy relies primarily on reducing the production and absorption of ammonia. Identification and correction of the precipitating factors and general supportive measures are important management steps. There are very few randomized controlled trials (RCT) of therapies and even these are bugged by lack of a control group and small sample sizes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are certain structural and functional changes that develop in the urinary tract during normal regnancy, which are significantly different than non-pregnant normal females. During pregnancy in women with underlying chronic kidney disease (CKD), the adaptation to these changes may not be optimal. Under these circumstances, the pregnancy outcome as well as maternal CKD may be affected. The issue focuses on the physiological changes in the kidney and assessment of proteinuria and GFR during pregnancy. The current update also details the cases of pregnancy in the setting of CKD describing the effect of CKD on pregnancy as well as effect of pregnancy on CKD. The chapter on pregnancy-induced hypertension―Pre-eclampsia focuses on the prevention and management of complications in the patient. The authors also give an insight into the pregnancy in cases after kidney transplantation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a common cause of chronic liver disease, and its incidence is rising worldwide. Understanding its pathogenesis, biochemical parameters, histological grading and staging, and its management is a vital issue in today’s clinical practice. It appears to be linked directly to the growing epidemic of obesity in adults as well as in children. Thus, in a sense, NAFLD is a self-inflicted liver disease, much like alcoholic liver disease. The exact causes responsible for the development of NAFLD have not been established yet. However, some researchers consider that cluster of disorders that increases the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and stroke may be the factor behind development of NAFLD. Most patients with NAFLD have no symptoms or signs of liver disease at the time of diagnosis. In these patients, abnormal liver function tests are often discovered incidentally. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is that stage of the spectrum that involves fat accumulation (steatosis), inflammation (hepatitis), and scarring (fibrosis) in the liver. Those who have fatty liver or hepatic steatosis with non-specific inflammation as fatty liver with non-specific inflammation generally have a benign longterm prognosis, whereas those who have NASH can progress to cirrhosis. NASH-related cirrhosis may have similar prognosis as cirrhosis from other causes. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is part of the spectrum of NAFLD, and screening for HCC seems reasonable in patients who have NASH-related cirrhosis. No established treatment is available for NAFLD. Some empiric treatment strategies have been suggested. Presumably, weight loss through exercise and diet modification along with insulinsensitizing agents will help reverse fatty infiltration of the liver. Its incidence is reportedly on the rise the world over as well as in India. Realizing its significance, there is now greater understanding of its etiology, pathogenesis, and management. The efforts of Elsevier have been directed toward addressing these aspects. Elsevier has thus pooled its existing resources with those of the internationally acclaimed Gastroenterologists of India who have chosen to share their rich clinical knowledge, experience, and expertize to serve the practitioners and patient community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coronary artery disease or CAD is the end result of the process of accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the walls of the arteries supplying the myocardium. Atherosclerosis is a chronic systemic disease process, affecting all the vascular beds in body and many factors responsible for its evolution have been identified. A rising incidence of this disease among people of Indian origin and an emerging role of genetic factors leading to atherosclerosis necessitates modifications in ourstrategies to handle it. The importance of the risk factors in causation of the disease need to be emphasized even more and masses need to be educated about the role of lifestyle modifications in its management. Further, early detection of preclinical or sub-clinical disease would add another dimension to the overall preventive strategy for this condition. This book is designed to update the readers on the evergrowing list of risk factors for CAD and the increasing significance of lifestyle modifications in prevention of the disease. Besides these, the therapeutic approach towards this chronic disease and methods of early detection has also been discussed. Typical supportive case scenarios are also included to exemplify and highlight the various points discussed. Thus, it provides an excellent opportunity to widen one’s perspective in this area.
