Abstract:Background
This research investigates the correlation between serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels and vascular calcification in individuals undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Methods
The study period spanned from January 2021 to August 2023, 220 patients receiving peritoneal dialysis at our hospital were selected as participants. FGF23 concentrations were determined through an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and coronary multi-slice spiral computed tomography (CT) and upright abdomi… Show more
