Does a rise in plasma erythropoietin after high-altitude exposure affect FGF23 in healthy volunteers on a normal or low-phosphorus diet?
Data of experimental rodent models suggest that hypoxia with subsequent increase in erythropoietin stimulates the expression of the phosphaturic hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23).
