FGF-23 and the Progression of Coronary Arterial Calcification in Patients New to Dialysis

[摘要] Background and objective Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), a regulator of phosphorus metabolism, is a risk marker in CKD. FGF-23 has been associated with coronary arterial calcification (CAC), but it is not known whether FGF-23 predicts CAC progression in CKD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of FGF-23 with CAC progression in advanced CKD.
