Abstract:Complications stemming from chronic kidney disease (CKD) significantly contribute to increased morbidity and mortality rates. During the early stages of CKD, a delicate balance in homeostasis and mineral regulation is maintained largely due to fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23). However, as kidney function declines, there is a detrimental effect on vitamin D synthesis. Understanding the dynamics of FGF-23 levels in relation to vitamin D status is crucial for assessing kidney function and its implications on … Show more
