Biomarker concentrations measured in patients with ADPKD are presented as the mean±SD. Normal ranges of biomarker concentrations in healthy adults and children (where available) were adopted from the literature and are presented as the mean±SD, mean±SEM, or mean (25 percentile to 75 percentile). Normal ranges of urinary HODEs and HETEs were determined in house in the spot urine of 15 healthy adult volunteers (10 men and 5 women, also normalized to creatinine). ADPKD, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease; HODE, hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid; HETE, hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid; HEPE, hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid.
