  1. *Data are presented as mean ± SD. n.s., not significant.
  2. The 66 ADPKD patients were stratified by CKD stages (1 to 5). The stages are based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s test was used for comparison (p < 0.05) for both Fetuin-A and Fetuin-A/creatinine ratio.
