Article Synopsis
- The study investigates endothelial dysfunction and microvascular reactivity in early-stage autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) before hypertension and renal impairment occurs.
- Fifteen normotensive ADPKD patients were tested for microcirculation and various plasma parameters, showing significant differences when compared to healthy controls and hypertensive patients.
- Results highlighted lower microvascular reactivity in ADPKD patients and elevated levels of Lp(a), suggesting that these factors may play a role in increased cardiovascular risks associated with ADPKD.
