Osteocytes and the pathogenesis of hypophosphatemic rickets
Since phosphorus is a component of hydroxyapatite, its prolonged deprivation affects bone mineralization. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is essential for maintaining phosphate homeostasis and is mainly produced by osteocytes.

Bone turnover markers (BTMs) derived from the secretory activities of osteoblasts and the matrix-degrading activities of osteoclasts are useful in monitoring the progression of osteoporosis and the efficacy of anti-osteoporotic treatment.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate is a poor predictor of the concentration of middle molecular weight uremic solutes in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
Background: Uremic solute concentration increases as Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) declines. Weak associations were demonstrated between estimated GFR (eGFR) and the concentrations of several small water-soluble and protein-bound uremic solutes ...

Fibroblast growth factor 23—Klotho and hypertension: experimental and clinical mechanisms
Hypertension (HTN) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are increasingly recognized in pediatric patients and represent risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality later in life.

CONTEXT A high level of the phosphate-regulating hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) is associated with mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease, but little is known about its relationship with adverse outcomes in the much larger ...

Intravenous phosphate loading increases fibroblast growth factor 23 in uremic rats. [PDF]
Oral phosphate loading and calcitriol stimulate Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) secretion, but the mechanisms underlying the stimulation of FGF23 remain to be studied.

Introduction It has been observed that intravenous iron administration may suppress endogenous production of erythropoietin (EPO). We postulate that this effect may be mediated by increased FGF-23 secretion.Aim of the study To evaluate the short-term ...

The Role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 in Inflammation and Anemia
In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), adverse outcomes such as systemic inflammation and anemia are contributing pathologies which increase the risks for cardiovascular mortality.

Fibroblast growth factor 23: are we ready to use it in clinical practice?
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a greatly enhanced risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Over the past decade it has come clear that a disturbed calcium-phosphate metabolism, with Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 as a key hormone, is

Fibroblast growth factor 23 and cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease [PDF]
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been known to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) mortality and morbidity in Japan. Although traditional risk factors contribute to the development of CV disease in CKD patients, they cannot fully ...
