FGF23 Elevated levels of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 correlate significantly with the mortality rate and the occurrence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with chronic renal failure, [...] with calcimimetics. In addition, the reduction of FGF23 was significantly associated with a lower rate of cardiovascular deaths and cardiovascular events. Recently, a novel calcimimetic has become available [...] phosphate load In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD ), a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) leads to an altered mineral metabolism. Even with a slight reduction in GFR, serum phosphate
