Remark

  • FGF23 is a hormone-like protein that is mainly produced in osteocytes and osteoblasts. It regulates phosphate and vitamin D metabolism by increasing renal phosphate excretion and inhibiting calcitriol synthesis.
  • It is an early marker for phosphate metabolism disorders in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and helps to assess the progression of nephropathies.
  • Elevated FGF23 concentrations may already be detectable before serum phosphate and serum creatinine concentrations begin to increase.
