Can kidney cysts cause adrenal insufficiency?

No: It's very unlikely a kidney cyst can cause problems to the adrenals.

No: The adrenal glands, sitting on top of each kidney, are typically preserved in cystic kidney diseases. However that does not exclude screening for ai if clinical features are present such as unexplained hypotension, salt craving or worsening headaches.

No: One grown-up out of maybe four has a kidney cyst. It's not going to damage the nearby adrenal gland.
