    To evaluate the association between arterial stiffness and inflammatory markers including C-reactive protein (CRP), pentraxin 3 (PTX3) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients with preserved renal function.A total of 52 ADPKD patients [mean (SD) age 38.2 (12.8) years, 69.2 % were females] with preserved renal function and 25 healthy volunteers [mean (SD) age 35.5 (6.5) years, 48.0 % were females] were included. Data on patient characteristics, blood biochemistry, inflammatory markers [PTX3 (pg/mL), CRP (mg/dL) and NLR] and arterial stiffness [large artery elasticity index (LAEI) (mL/mmHg x 10) and small artery elasticity index (SAEI) (mL/mmHg x 100)] were recorded in patient and control groups. Correlation between inflammatory markers and arterial stiffness parameters was analysed in patients.Overall, 42.3 % of ADPKD patients were hypertensive and 44.4 % were receiving renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockade therapy. Median levels for PTX3 [442.0 (20.0-4140.0) pg/mL vs. 220.5 (14.7-393.0) pg/mL, p < 0.001] and SAEI [4.90 (1.60-11.80) mL/mmHg x 100 vs. 6.45 (2.80-15.70) mL/mmHg x 10, p = 0.013] were significantly higher in ADPKD patients than in controls. PTX3 and CRP were not correlated with arterial elasticity, while NLR was significantly correlated with LAEI negatively (Rho = -0.278, p = 0.042).In conclusion, our findings revealed increased PTX3 levels and reduced SAEI in patients as compared with controls, while no correlation between inflammatory markers studied and the small artery elasticity.
