Fibroblast growth factor 23 iron and inflammation – are they related in early stages of chronic kidney disease?

摘要

IntroductionFibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) levels are elevated in impaired renal function. Inflammation and iron are potential regulators of FGF-23. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between FGF-23 concentration, novel iron status biomarkers and inflammatory parameters among patients with early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
