Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate cardio metabolic risk factors in patients with non-functional adrenal adenoma.
Materials and methods: We studied thirty newly diagnosed adrenal adenoma patients and 30 healthy participants. Fasting glucose, insulin, lipid, hormone profile were evaluated from each patient.
Results: The frequency of diabetes mellitus and hypertension were statistically higher in adrenal adenoma group. Lipid profile was similar between groups. Mean fasting glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, triglyceride and uric acid levels were higher in adrenal adenoma group compared with the control group, however; the differences did not reach statistical significance. Mean hsCRP and CIMT were significantly higher in adenoma group.
Conclusion: Cardio metabolic risk factors were found to be higher in non-functional adrenal adenoma. Therefore; patients with adrenal adenoma should be monitored for cardiovascular disease.
