FGF23-Klotho axis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

CONCLUSIONS: The increased serum Klotho levels in RA patients, especially in those undergoing biologic therapy, may indicate a potential implication in the pathogenesis of the disease. Although levels of FGF-23 were related to LDL-c levels, the FGF-23-Klotho axis does not seem to be related to subclinical arteriosclerosis in RA. PMID: 31025926 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
