Table_1_Association of simple renal cysts with metabolic syndrome in adults.docx
Background and aimsMetabolic syndrome is common nowadays and may increase risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular complications and even mortality. Renal cysts are also frequently found during routine examination. However, the relationship between simple renal cysts (SRCs) and metabolic syndrome remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association of SRCs with metabolic syndrome.MethodsA total of 16,216 subjects aged β₯18 years were enrolled in this study. SRCs were diagnosed with ultrasonography by finding: sharp, thin posterior walls, a round/oval shape, absence of internal echoes, and posterior enhancement. SRCs were categorized by number (0, 1, and β₯2) and size (ResultsIn multivariate analysis, SRCs were positively related to metabolic syndrome (OR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.06β1.34). The risk of metabolic syndrome was higher for SRCs with a number β₯2 (OR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.08β1.68) and size β₯2 cm (OR: 1.33, 95% CI: 1.10β1.61). When considering the SRC number and size concomitantly, SRCs with a number β₯2/size β₯2 cm (OR: 1.42, 95% CI: 1.02β1.98) or ConclusionsSimple renal cysts were found to be related to a higher risk of metabolic syndrome, and the association is more significant in those with larger (sizes β₯2cm) or plural (numbers β₯2) SRCs.</p
