It is unclear whether fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) increases in response to phosphate accumulation or to decrease clearance in chronic kidney disease (CKD) as is the case with other low molecular weight proteins such as cystatin C (CysC).
This cross-sectional study measured serum FGF-23, CysC, and other serum markers of bone metabolism in 69 patients, aged 18 months-24 years, with various stages of CKD (eGFR=11-214mL/min).
FGF-23 levels were significantly correlated with CysC and parathyroid hormone levels (PTH) on univariate non-linear regression analysis. In multivariate linear regression analysis, log (CysC) (β=0.660, p<0.0001), log (PTH) (β=0.038, p=0.37), and phosphate (β=0.222, p=0.028) explained 69.1% of the variance of FGF-23.
CysC had the largest unique contribution to FGF-23 variance in this model, supporting the hypothesis that renal clearance may be the most responsible factor for elevated FGF-23 levels in early stages of CKD.
目前尚不清楚成纤维细胞生长因子 23(FGF-23)是响应于磷酸盐蓄积而增加,还是像胱抑素 C(CysC)等其他低分子量蛋白质那样由于清除率降低而增加,在慢性肾脏病(CKD)中就是如此。
本横断面研究测量了 69 例年龄在 18 个月至 24 岁之间的患有各种 CKD 阶段(eGFR=11-214mL/min)患者的血清 FGF-23、CysC 和其他骨代谢血清标志物。
在单变量非线性回归分析中,FGF-23 水平与 CysC 和甲状旁腺激素(PTH)水平呈显著相关。在多元线性回归分析中,log(CysC)(β=0.660,p<0.0001)、log(PTH)(β=0.038,p=0.37)和磷酸盐(β=0.222,p=0.028)解释了 FGF-23 变异的 69.1%。
在该模型中,CysC 对 FGF-23 变异的贡献最大,支持了这样一种假设,即肾脏清除可能是 CKD 早期 FGF-23 水平升高的最主要因素。
