Magnetic resonance measurements of renal blood flow as a marker of disease severity in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease. Kidney Int 2003 Dec;64(6):2214-21.Abstract
Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder characterized by renal cyst growth, early development of hypertension, and late occurrence of renal insufficiency. Despite evidence for the importance of nephroangiosclerosis in the progression of renal insufficiency in ADPKD, evaluation of renal blood flow (RBF) as a surrogate marker of disease severity has received little attention.
