Levels of urinary Fetuin-A correlate with ADPKD progression
| Early ADPKD | V 0 | V 1 | V 2 | V 3 | V 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time (months) | 0 | 6 | 12 | 18 | 24 |
| Cases (n) | 19 | 19 | 19 | 19 | 19 |
| Fetuin-A [μg/L]* | 71.6 ± 43.7 | 95.6 ± 47.8 | 114.3 ± 65.3 | 136.1 ± 56.7 | 150.7 ± 66.4 |
| p-value | n.s. | n.s. | n.s. | 0.014 | 0.0001 |
| Fetuin-A [μg/mmol creatinine]* | 13.9 ± 9.6 | 17.1 ± 13.8 | 19.6 ± 14.6 | 24.3 ± 16.3 | 27.7 ± 16.7 |
| p-value | n.s. | n.s. | n.s. | 0.021 | 0.003 |
*Data are presented as mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s test was used for comparison (p < 0.05) for both Fetuin-A and Fetuin-A/Creatinine ratio. n.s., not significant.
