BACKGROUND: Although the mechanisms underlying cyst enlargement in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are becoming clearer, those of renal dysfunction are not fully understood. In particular, total kidney volume (TKV) and renal function do not always correspond. To elucidate this discrepancy, we studied in detail glomerular hemodynamic changes during ADPKD progression. METHODS: Sixty-one ADPKD patients with baseline height-adjusted TKV (Ht-TKV) of 933±537 ml/m and serum creatinine of 1...
