Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: High plasma fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) predicts cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Experimental evidence suggests FGF receptor 4 (FGFR4) activation by FGF-23, and deficiency of the soluble form of its co-receptor Klotho promotes left-ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). To evaluate the clinical relevance of these findings, a Mendelian randomization study analyzed the...
