Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease. In spite of the recent tremendous progress in the understanding of ADPKD pathogenesis, the molecular mechanisms of the disease remain incompletely understood.

Background: Tolvaptan, a vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist, is used for treating autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

Methods: This was a single-centre, prospective, observational cohort study.
