HIGH CIRCULATING LEVEL OF FIBROBLAST GROWHT FACTOR-23 PROMOTES RENAL EXCRETION OF PHOSPHATE IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS WITH RESIDUAL RENAL FUNCTION
Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) regulates phosphate metabolism and elevated levels occur in patients with kidney disease and are associated with smortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Residual renal function (RRF) presumably improves phosphate metabolism in MHD patients. We inve...
