BACKGROUND Liver cirrhosis (LC) affect millions of people worldwide. The pathogenesis involves complex interactions between immune responses and gut microbiota. Recent studies have highlighted the role interleukin-36 (IL-36) subfamily in inflammation regulation. However, relationship serum IL-36 levels microbiota patients remains unclear.

Cardiometabolic diseases represent an escalating global health crisis, slowing or even reversing earlier declines in cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Traditionally, conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), atherosclerotic CVD, heart failure (HF), chronic kidney (CKD), and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver (MASLD) were managed isolation. However, emerging evidence reveals that these disorders share overlapping pathophysiological mechanisms treatment strategies. In 2023, the American Heart Association proposed Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome, recognizing interconnected roles of heart, kidneys, system. Yet, this model omits liver—a critical organ impacted by dysfunction. MASLD, which can progress to steatohepatitis (MASH), is closely tied insulin resistance contributing directly renal impairment. Notably, MASLD bidirectionally associated with development progression CKM syndrome. As a result, we introduce expanded framework—the Cardiovascular-Renal-Hepatic-Metabolic (CRHM) syndrome—to more comprehensively capture broader inter-organ dynamics. We provide guidance for integrated diagnostic approach aimed at halting advanced stages preventing further damage. addition, highlight advances medical management target shared pathways, offering benefits across multiple systems. Viewing whole, rather than discrete entities, incorporating into framework fosters holistic strategy offers promising path addressing cardiometabolic pandemic.
