Abstract
This review article initiates a series focused on metabolic medicine, a field that has yet to receive adequate attention within the domestic medical education system. The primary aim of this series is to demonstrate the prospects in understanding metabolic diseases and contemporary treatment modalities, with particular emphasis on those intersecting with endocrinology. The review defines metabolic medicine, explores its historical evolution, and outlines its principal trajectories. It also addresses the specialization within metabolic medicine, discussing the potential benefits this knowledge holds for various medical specialists. Furthermore, the article examines the treatment methodologies for prevalent and socially significant conditions, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, through the lens of metabolic medicine. It underscores the pivotal role of metabolic specialists in patient management with metabolic syndrome, a common precursor to diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases if not corrected in a timely manner. Emphasis is placed on reviewing bariatric surgical interventions, with a critical comparison of their efficacy and potential side effects. Additionally, the article highlights the critical role of metabolic medicine specialists in the management of patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.
