The second part of the review examines in detail the questions of diagnostics and peculiarities of the metabolic syndrome manifestations, which presents the link between most comorbid conditions at patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The metabolic syndrome is based on the insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia, caused by both chronic low‑intensity inflammation and increased adipose tissue, often against the background of aggravated heredity at diabetes mellitus. The authors elucidate aspects of the effects of obesity, cachexia and some endocrine disorders on the disease course. The deficiency of researches on endocrine status, especially thyroid function and related metabolic disorders was emphasized. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms of osteoporosis development in this contingent of patients are considered. The need for further research of the pathogenetic role of vitamin D is discussed. Data on the role of the functional state of kidneys in the development of metabolic disorders in an organism have been presented, though kidney pathology in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is not currently considered as a comorbid condition. The contradictory literature data on the development of anemia in these patients were analysed. The authors presented data on the development of oncological processes as a systemic manifestation at COPD and performed analysis of common and mutually aggravating mechanisms of the development of these pathological conditions. Attention has been paid to the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease, bronchiectasis and obstructive sleep apnea with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The prospects of modern genetic research in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and comorbid conditions have been determined.

The metabolic syndrome (MS) affects 21-53% of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with a higher prevalence in the early stages of COPD, with results being highly variable between studies. MS may also correlate with disease characteristics. The aim of the study is to examine the prevalence of MS and its correlation with comorbidities and COPD characteristics in patients with COPD admitted for exacerbation. 152 patients with COPD admitted for exacerbation were studied for presence of MS. All of them were also assessed for vitamin D status and diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM). Data were gathered for smoking status and exacerbations during the last year. All patients completed CAT (COPD assessment test) and mMRC (Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea scale) questionnaires and underwent spirometry. Duration of current hospital stay was recorded. 25% of patients have MS. 23,1% of the male and 29,5% of the female patients have MS (p>0.05). The prevalence of MS in this study is significantly lower when compared to a national representative study (44,6% in subjects over 45 years). 69,1% of all patients and 97,4% from MS patients have arterial hypertension. The presence of MS is associated with significantly worse cough and sleep (1st and 7th CAT questions; p=0.002 and p=0.001 respectively) and higher total CAT score (p=0.017). Average BMI is 27,31. None of the patients have MS and BMI <25. There is a correlation between the presence of MS and DM (p=0.008) and with the number of exacerbations in the last year (p=0.015). There is no correlation between the presence of MS and the pulmonary function. This study among hospitalized COPD patients finds comparable but relatively low prevalence of MS (25%) compared to previously published data (21-53%) and lower prevalence compared to general population (44,6%). MS may impact natural course and the number of exacerbations of COPD. Having in mind that MS is more common in the early stages and decreases with COPD progression, the COPD patients admitted for exacerbation may be considered as having advanced COPD.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common disorder with an increasing prevalence, characterised by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. Systemic inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of COPD and can also predispose to metabolic disorders (e.g., metabolic syndrome (MetS) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)). Such comorbidities can negatively affect COPD outcomes, cardiovascular risk, and quality of life. Apart from NAFLD, abnormal peri-organ or intra-organ fat (APIFat) could be considered as markers for cardiometabolic diseases and even for COPD. The present narrative review considers the associations of COPD with MetS, NAFLD, and other APIFat, including epicardial, perirenal, peripancreatic, and intramuscular adipose tissue. Further research is needed to define these relationships and identify any potential clinical implications.

A kilégzett levegőben mérhető nitrogén-monoxid a legszélesebb körben vizsgált légúti biomarker. A stabil állapotú krónikus obstruktív tüdőbetegségben a kilégzett nitrogén-monoxid-szint hasonló vagy csak kismértékben emelkedett az egészségesekhez képest. Mivel a nitrogén-monoxid-szint szoros összefüggést mutat a légúti eosinophilia mértékével, és mivel az eosinophil típusú légúti gyulladás szteroidokra érzékenyebb, az emelkedett nitrogén-monoxid-szinttel rendelkező betegek jobb válaszkészséget mutatnak az inhalációs vagy szisztémás kortikoszteroidkezelésre. A krónikus obstruktív tüdőbetegség akut exacerbatiója során a kilégzett nitrogén-monoxid szintje megemelkedik, majd ennek kezelése után csökken. Mivel a nitrogén-monoxid-szint és a kezelés során elért légzésfunkciós javulás szoros korrelációt mutat egymással, a nitrogén-monoxid-méréssel a terápiás válasz megjósolható. Összefoglalva: a nitrogén-monoxid-méréssel a krónikus obstruktív tüdőbetegségben szenvedő betegek olyan alcsoportját lehet elkülöníteni, amelynek szteroidérzékenysége nagyobb. Orv. Hetil., 2010, 151, 2083–2088.
