We provide the first longitudinal and most comprehensive analysis of the intrarenal microvasculature in a slowly progressive model of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and integrate the findings with studies in a young cohort of individuals with ADPKD. We identified vasculature-related pathways that could be targeted for therapeutic interventions and contribute promising, noninvasive biomarkers in patients with ADPKD. Alterations of the intrarenal microcirculation may affect drug delivery; a better understanding of its longitudinal changes may aid in treatment management.
