Journal ArticleDOI

Possible involvement of circulating fibroblast growth factor 23 in the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with renal insufficiency.

TL;DR: FGF-23 becomes a potential uremic toxin to decrease 1,25D levels when it loses its hypophosphatemic action because of a decreased number of viable nephrons in patients with advanced renal failure and may be an important determinant in the regulation of mineral metabolism with renal insufficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum fibroblast growth factor-23 levels predict the future refractory hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients

TL;DR: Serum FGF-23 level was found to be the most useful factor in predicting future development of refractory secondary hyper parathyroidism in long-term dialysis patients with mild secondary hyperparathyroidistan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased circulating levels of osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor (osteoprotegerin) in patients with chronic renal failure.

TL;DR: It is suggested that OCIF accumulates in serum of patients with renal dysfunction, and may be a candidate uremic toxin responsible for the skeletal resistance to PTH seen in chronic renal failure.
