Metabolic Parameters in Patients with Adrenal Insidentaloma

Abstract

ABSTRACT Aim: Our aim is to determine the metabolic state in patients with incidental adrenal mass. Material and Methods: 67 patients in whom functional tests about adrenal incidental mass were assessed in University of Necmettin Erbakan, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, were admitted to the study. Results: Of these 67 patients, 34 were male and 33 were female. Mean age was 57.1±12, mean body mass index was 29.1±6 kg/m2. In patients enrolled to the study; cushing s syndrome, pheochromocytoma, primary hyperaldosteronism tests were performed. Functional adrenal mass was detected in 8 patients (6 pheochromocytoma, 1 cushing s syndrome, 1 primary hyperaldosteronism). Impaired fasting glucose or type 2 diabetes were identified in 38 patients. Mean glucose was 127.6±18 mg/dL in all patients. Mean glucose in patients with functional and non-functional mass were 117.2±32 mg/dL and 129±62 mg/dL respectively. Mean systolic blood pressure was 125±18 mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure was 77±10.9 mmHg in all patients. Mean systolic pressure was 135±10.4 mmHg in patients with functional mass and 124±19 mmHg in patients with non-functional mass. Mean triglyceride was 157.5 ± 83 mg/dL (normal
