It has been previously shown that adrenal adenomas are associated with a variety of metabolic disturbances like glucose intolerance and obesity. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease development in subjects with adrenal incidentalomas.Among 302 subjects referred between 2001 and 2008 for the evaluation of incidentally discovered adrenal mass, 150 subjects with appropriate data were included. Computed tomogr...

Adrenal adenomas are characterised with metabolic disturbances. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the changes in some metabolic and anthropometric parameters after 24 months follow up in subjects with non-functioning adrenal adenomas.Subjects referred between 2001 and 2008 for the evaluation of adrenal tumours were included. Computed tomography (CT) was the initial radiological intervention. Initial hormonal evaluation included 1 mg or 2 day 2 mg d...

Data regarding cardiovascular risk in subjects with non-functioning adrenal adenoma is limited. The aim of this study is to investigate carotid intima media thickness (IMT) as a robust indicator of atherosclerosis in subjects with AI.Of 49 subjects without findings of hypercortisolism or other adrenal gland disorders, 34 BMI-unmatched controls (C) and 18 BMI-matched controls (BC) were enrolled. Participants underwent hormonal evaluation including morning...

Increased use and improved technology of imaging procedures have led to increased recognition of adrenal incidentalomas. The aim of this study is to evaluate the natural course of benign adrenal tumours in terms of tumour growth and hormone secretion.Subjects referred between 2001 and 2008 for the evaluation of adrenal tumours were included. Computed tomography (CT) was the initial radiological intervention. Initial hormonal evaluation included 1 mg or 2...
