Abstract
The results point toward an important participation of tubular damage in the pathogenesis of this disease. It may also be suggested that in normotensive and normoalbuminuric ADPKD patients, a gradual increase of glomerular filtration would be produced. After the start of hypertension and microalbuminuria, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) would decrease progressively, although more slowly.
