Clinical and Laboratory Features of Adrenal Macronodular Hyperplasia

Abstract

Adrenal macronodular hyperplasia (AMH) is a benign adrenal lesion that, in some cases, leads to hypercorticism. Due to its low detectability, nonspecific and blurred clinical picture, and slow, multi-year progression, it is difficult to assess the true prevalence of AMH. These are thoughts based on very limited literature data. Detailed analysis of laboratory, radiological parameters, clinical presentations, particularly the identification of the course of comorbid diseases (arterial hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM), osteoporosis), is necessary to determine the management tactics for patients with AMH.
