Özet

Background: The majority of the incidentally discovered adrenal masses are non-functioning adrenal adenomas; however data regarding traditional and novel cardiovascular risk predictors in these subjects is lacking. The objective of our study was to investigate the levels of PAI-1, IL-6 and Apelin along with several traditional cardiovascular risk markers in subjects with non-functioning adrenal adenomas.
