“…High phosphate concentrations are linked with a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease, both in patients with CKD [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ] and in healthy individuals [ 2 , 13 , 14 , 25 ]. Similarly, high phosphate concentrations have been linked to increased mortality among CKD patients [ 26 , 27 , 28 ] and among the general population [ 29 , 30 ]. A long-term high phosphate diet affects the bone structure [ 6 , 31 ] and the regulation of FGF23 and Klotho [ 17 , 28 , 32 , 33 ].…”
