FGF23　- A hormone produced by bone and has many faces.

Key takeaways

This is a review article about FGF23, a hormone made by bone that controls phosphate and vitamin D levels in the body. It walks through what goes wrong when FGF23 is too high or too low, which matters in kidney disease because failing kidneys push FGF23 up. It is a summary of work already published, not a new study, so there are no new results here.
