Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is independently correlated to aortic calcification in haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Vascular calcification has detrimental consequences on chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, yet its pathogenesis is not fully understood. Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is involved in the regulation of mineral metabolism which may in turn affect vascular calcification. Data on the relationship between FGF-23 and peripheral vascular calcification, using conventional radiograph...
متن کاملSerum fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) levels are independently associated with left ventricular mass and myocardial performance index in maintenance haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is a phosphorus-regulating substance. Circulating FGF-23 levels increase markedly in dialysis patients and are independently associated with increased risk of mortality. Given the fact that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in dialysis patients, the aim of this study was to test if elevated FGF-23 levels might be associated with...
متن کاملMicroRNA-297a regulates vascular calcification by targeting fibroblast growth factor 23
Objective(s): Vascular calcification is one the major characteristics in patients with various types of chronic inflammatory disorders. MiRNAs have been shown to be involved in many normal biological functions as well as diseases; however, their role in vascular calcification has not received much attention. Materials and Methods: In the current study, we built a vascular calcification rat mode...
متن کاملHigh levels of serum fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23 are associated with increased mortality in long haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23, a novel bone-derived phosphaturic factor involved in mineral metabolism, is increased in chronic kidney disease (CKD); in dialysis patients, it has been linked to increased mortality rates and vascular calcification (VC). The present investigation aimed to study the factors associated with elevated serum FGF-23 levels in patients treated with long h...

health [5] . The volumetric bone mineral density, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), albuminuria and levels of calcified atherosclerotic plaque (CAP) in coronary, carotid and aortic vascular beds were correlated [5] . After adjusting for covariates, analyses revealed an expected negative correlation with eGFR. However, the core finding observed by the investigators was the association...
