Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and its impact may be exacerbated when accompanied by metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The simultaneous management of these conditions poses multiple challenges healthcare providers. Insulin resistance has been implicated in the pathogenesis both dyslipidemia MASLD, necessitating holistic approach to managing dyslipidemia, glucose levels, body weight, MASLD. This review explores intricate pathophysiological relationship between MASLD dyslipidemia. It also examines current guidance regarding use lipid-lowering agents (including statins, ezetimibe, fibrates, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors) as well glucose-lowering medications (such pioglitazone, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 patients with or without steatohepatitis (MASH), Additionally, addresses potential emerging drugs concurrently target MASLD/MASH Our hope that deeper understanding mechanisms underlying assist clinicians complex cases.
