The FGF23–Undercarboxylated Osteocalcin Axis in Predialysis Chronic Kidney Disease: Linking Mineral Homeostasis and Bone Turnover

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 80 adults, including 68 with kidney disease. It checked how two bone-related proteins interact in the blood. The study found a link between these proteins and kidney function. This is an observational study, so it shows a connection but not proof that one causes the other.
