Causes And Risks Of Hepatic Adenoma

Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome encompasses the group of conditions that typically occur together and impact a person's risk of cardiovascular disease and other disorders. High blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar and body fat around the middle are indicators of an increased risk for stroke, diabetes and heart disease. The syndrome is caused by insulin resistance, obesity or an inactive lifestyle. Individuals who carry excess weight around their waist, have Type 2 diabetes or had gestational diabetes while pregnant are at an increased risk for metabolic syndrome. Women who have had polycystic ovarian syndrome are also more likely to develop this illness. The high blood pressure and impaired insulin response in the body with this syndrome can exacerbate the risk of developing a hepatic adenoma. This is particularly true for men with the diagnosis, who are ten times more likely than women to develop a benign liver tumor.
