Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) regulates phosphate metabolism and elevated levels occur in patients with kidney disease and are associated with smortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Residual renal function (RRF) presumably improves phosphate metabolism in MHD patients. We inve...
