  • Young patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) commonly experience subclinical atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events despite having normal blood pressure.
  • A study analyzed the relationship between fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) levels and various cardiovascular health indicators in 52 ADPKD patients and matched control subjects, finding significant differences in arterial stiffness and left ventricular function.
  • Although the ADPKD group had higher microalbumin/creatinine ratios and marginally impaired heart function compared to controls, the study concluded that these cardiovascular impairments were not linked to FGF-23 levels.
