Abstract
Aim of the study: Data concerning the clinical manifestation and outcomes of lean metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are scarce and inconsistent. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics of MASLD and predictors of its occurrence.
Material and methods: The study included patients from the Polish Gallstone Surgery Registry diagnosed with MASLD according to the current criteria.
Results: Among 3,419 patients, MASLD was diagnosed in 24.2%. Lean MASLD was diagnosed in 11.3% of patients with MASLD. Independent predictors of lean MASLD were atherogenic dyslipidaemia (OR = 94.16, CI: 45.54-197.71, p < 0.0001), diabetes mellitus or prediabetes conditions (OR = 9.26, CI: 4.42-19.38, p < 0.0001) and hypertension (OR = 2.97, CI: 1.38-6.41, p = 0.0054).
Conclusions: Lean MASLD is not a rare form of the disease, and in the lean MASLD group there are patients with a high rate of metabolic abnormalities which may significantly increase cardiovascular risk and the risk of MASLD progression.
