This article is a cohort study of non diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease which shows that fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is an independent predictor of progression of chronic kidney disease. FGF23 is a phosphaturic hormone, triggered by increased phosphate levels. In addition to causing phosphaturia it may inhibit the 1-alpha-hydroxylase, decreasing the activation of vitamin D and increasing PTH levels.
