Is fibroblast growth factor 23 increased in calcium nephrolithiasis with hypophosphatemia and renal phosphate leak?
In our study population, renal phosphate leak affected 20% of stone formers and was strongly associated with increased serum FGF23 concentration.
Dense SEC was frequently observed in CAs of patients with ICVD, especially in those with local atheromatous lesions, although the influence of systemic factors could not be excluded. Dense SEC within a CA may be a marker of ICVD.
