Key result
Metabolic syndrome is linked to ~54% higher perirenal visceral adipose tissue stiffness than healthy controls.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate two-dimensional shear wave ultrasound elastography parameters of lower perirenal visceral adipose tissue in patients with metabolic syndrome versus healthy subjects, and to assess the effect of age.
Does two-dimensional shear wave ultrasound elastography detect differences in perirenal visceral adipose tissue stiffness between patients with metabolic syndrome and healthy subjects?
Cross-Sectional (n=49)
No
Does two-dimensional shear wave ultrasound elastography detect differences in perirenal visceral adipose tissue stiffness between patients with metabolic syndrome and healthy subjects?
Two-dimensional shear wave ultrasound elastography demonstrates that perirenal visceral adipose tissue is significantly stiffer in patients with metabolic syndrome compared to healthy individuals, and this stiffness correlates with BMI.
Shear-wave elastography of perirenal fat may differ in metabolic syndrome; leaves open any diagnostic role pending larger validation studies.

Пиманов et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Metabolic syndrome (n=49). Metabolic syndrome vs. Healthy individuals was evaluated on Young's modulus (stiffness) of the bottom perirenal visceral adipose tissue in kilopascals (kPa) (p=0.002). Patients with metabolic syndrome had significantly higher stiffness of the perirenal visceral adipose tissue compared to healthy individuals (5.86 vs 3.81 kPa, p=0.002).
