OBJECTIVE: Patients with nonfunctioning adrenal adenomas (NFA) and mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) demonstrate an increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), however factors associated with CKD are unknown. We aimed to identify the factors associated with CKD and assess the impact of adrenalectomy on kidney function in patients with NFA or MACS.

DESIGN: Single-center cohort study of patients with NFA and MACS, 1999-2020.

METHODS: MACS was diagnosed based on post-dexamethasone cortisol (DST) ≥ 1.8 mcg/dL. Age, sex, dysglycemia, hypertension, therapy with statin, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, or angiotensin II receptor blocker were included in the multivariable analysis. Outcomes included estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at the time of diagnosis with MACS or NFA and post-adrenalectomy delta eGFR.

RESULTS: Of 972 patients, 429 (44%) had MACS and 543 (56%) had NFA. At the time of diagnosis, patients with MACS had lower eGFR (median 79.6 vs 83.8 ml/min/1.73m2, p < 0.001) than patients with NFA. In a multivariable analysis, factors associated with lower eGFR were older age, hypertension, and higher DST. In 204 patients (MACS: 155, 76% and NFA: 49, 24%) treated with adrenalectomy, post adrenalectomy eGFR improved in both groups starting at 18 months up to 3.5 years of follow up. Factors associated with increased eGFR were younger age, lower pre-adrenalectomy eGFR and longer follow-up period.

CONCLUSION: DST cortisol is an independent risk factor for lower eGFR in patients with adrenal adenomas. Both patients with MACS and NFA demonstrate an increase in eGFR post-adrenalectomy, especially younger patients with lower eGFR pre-adrenalectomy.
