Evaluation of Selected Parameters of Calcium and Phosphate Metabolism in Children with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

CONCLUSIONS: 1. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is characterised by multi-level abnormalities of calcium and phosphate metabolism. 2. The increased FGF-23 levels and reduced Klotho protein concentrations found in serum samples collected from children with ado-lescent idiopathic scoliosis may suggest that these hormones play a role in the aetiopathogenesis of the disorder.
