Usually, patients have no symptoms. However, some patients with hypertension and blood pressure normalize after AML surgery, indicating some connections between AML and hypertension.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:bold> This was a retrospective cohort study of 369 patients diagnosed with AML from September 2008 to December 2018 collected in the Urology Department of West China Hospital, Chengdu, Sichuan, China. We collected clinical records of patients before surgery. Postoperative follow-up was also carried out for those with hypertension and whether patients needed to take antihypertensive drugs and postoperative blood pressure were recorded. We aim to explore the characteristics of both patients with AML having hypertension and having remission of hypertension in 1 year after surgery.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> There were 369 patients with AML included in the study, 156 men and 213 women, aged 49.86 \u00b1 11.61 years old. Among them, 121 (32.8%) patients presented with hypertension. Body mass index was significantly higher in the hypertension group than that in the nonhypertension group, even after adjusting other variables (26.26 \u00b1 3.43 vs. 24.28 \u00b1 3.38 kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001 for both univariate and multivariate analyses). Sixty patients were followed up for 1\u20139 years, with a median follow-up of 52 months. The duration of hypertension in the remission group was shorter than that in the non-remission group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.020), and the tumor lateralization was significantly different between the two groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.005).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Nearly one-third of patients with AML suffered from hypertension in our study, and there existed some potential links between AML and hypertension. To be more specific, AML-related hypertension was more likely to result from obesity and renal compression by perirenal fat than from endocrine disorders or blood vessels compression. Patients with AML and with more than 3 years of hypertension might have less possibility to recover.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2021.663346","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,10]],"date-time":"2021-09-10T04:40:05Z","timestamp":1631248805000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Adrenal
