Associations between anemia and FGF23 in the CKiD study

ConclusionsIn this cohort of pediatric patients with CKD, anemia was associated with increased total FGF23 levels but was not independently associated with elevated intact FGF23, suggesting possible effects on both FGF23 production and cleavage. Further studies are warranted to investigate non-mineral factors affecting FGF23 production and metabolism in CKD.Graphical abstractA higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available asSupplementary information
