Fibroblast growth factor-23 may serve as a novel biomarker for renal osteodystrophy progression.
International Journal of Molecular Medicine 2018 October 16
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether fibroblast growth factor (FGF)‑23 could serve as a novel biomarker for renal osteodystrophy (ROD) progression. A rat model of ROD was induced by left nephrectomy plus intravenous injection of Adriamycin. Serum FGF‑23 was determined using an enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay. Serum level and bone expression of FGF‑23 were both significantly elevated in the ROD group at 24 h post‑surgery. Serum FGF‑23 was negatively correlated with calcium, phosphate, 25‑hydroxyvitamin D, conventional bone biomarkers and bone collagen X. More importantly, serum FGF‑23 was significantly associated with abnormalities in bone formation rate, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, trabecular volume thickness and osteoid volume. Therefore, FGF‑23 may serve as a novel biomarker for ROD.
