- The study investigates the link between elevated phosphate concentrations in the proximal tubule, serum FGF23 levels, and kidney damage in middle-aged individuals with mild chronic kidney disease (CKD).
- Involving 218 participants aged 45 and older, researchers measured various health indicators and found that as CKD progresses, levels of ePTFp, serum FGF23, and markers of kidney damage all increased, although phosphate concentrations remained stable.
- The findings suggest that higher ePTFp correlates strongly with increased serum FGF23 and kidney damage biomarkers, supporting previous mouse studies and indicating potential mechanisms of kidney injury in humans with CKD.
