Özet

It is not clear whether nonfunctional adrenal incidentaloma (NFA) increases the risk of atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome or whether this type of adrenal tumor has been found more frequently in patients with cardiometabolic risk factors. We aimed to determine the effects of NFA on cardiometabolic risk factors and endothelial function and to compare the patients with a 1:1 cardiometabolic risk factor matched control group.
