Biomarkers of Kidney Disease Progression in ADPKD.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic kidney disorder and the fourth leading cause of kidney failure (KF) in adults. Characterized by a reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and increased kidney size, ADPKD exhibits significant variability in progression, highlighting the urgent need for reliable and predictive biomarkers to optimize management and treatment approaches. This review explores the roles of diverse biomarkers-including clinical, genetic, molecular, and imaging biomarkers-in evaluating disease progression and customizing treatments for ADPKD.
