Debido a que el síndrome metabólico no es sólo una enfermedad o trastorno, sino más bien un grupo de trastornos del metabolismo de su cuerpo, usted debe estar consciente de los síntomas de estos trastornos subyacentes. Además, muchos de estos síntomas sólo son detectables mediante exámenes que su médico podría administrar, así que es importante que consulte a su médico regularmente para recibir revisiones preventivas.
