The association of higher levels of within-normal-limits liver enzymes and the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome
Journal: Cardiovascular Diabetology
Year: 2010

A relatively high prevalence of MetS was noted in a cohort of apparently healthy individuals with liver enzyme concentrations within-normal-limits. Practical consequences include the need to follow up these enzyme concentrations as continuous variables and to take into consideration that even relatively small elevations within the normal range might reflect the presence of dysmetabolism.
