The prevalence and associated risk factors of detectable renal morphological abnormalities in acromegaly

ConclusionThe results of this study showed that acromegaly disease significantly increased the prevalence of SRCs and kidney length compared to the age-sex matched healthy population, while the prevalence of KSD was similar. Advanced age and male gender were seen to be independent risk factors for SRC formation in patients with acromegaly.
