Two-year survival curve (Cox proportional hazard), according to the serum FGF-23 quartile, adjusted for age, gender, diabetes, tobacco use, alfacalcidol use, dialysis vintage, serum albumin, tertile of phosphataemia, calcaemia and PTH values. (P = 0.007; hazard ratio, 2.5 (1.3–5) for the fourth FGF-23 quartile versus the first quartile.)

The median fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) level within the lowest FGF-23 quartile (74 RU/mL) served as the referent value (hazard = 1.0). The model was stratified by center and adjusted for age; sex; race; ethnicity; estimated glomerular filtration rate; natural log-transformed urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio; hemoglobin; serum albumin; systolic blood pressure; body mass index; diabetes; smoking status; low-density lipoprotein; history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease; use of aspirin, β-blockers, statins, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers; and serum calcium, phosphate, and natural log-transformed parathyroid hormone. Tick marks on the x-axis indicate individual observations at corresponding levels of FGF-23. The solid black line represents the multivariable-adjusted hazard of mortality as a function of the measured (nontransformed) FGF-23 level. The dashed lines indicate the 95% confidence intervals.
The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence intervals) of death per unit increment in standard deviation of natural log-transformed fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) is plotted for the entire cohort and according to strata of baseline covariates. See Figure 1 legend for adjusted variables. To covert calcium from mg/dL to mmol/L, multiply by 0.25; low-density lipoprotein from mg/dL to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0259; and parathyroid hormone from pg/mL to ng/L, multiply by 0.1053.

Multivariable-adjusted risks of end-stage renal disease and death per unit increment in SD of natural log-transformed fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) in all participants and according to categories of baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR). See Figure 1 legend for adjusted variables. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals. HR indicates hazard ratio.
Causes of primary and secondary FGF23 excess and deficiency. Specific diseases and clinical settings and their characteristic metabolic features are listed in each quadrant corresponding to states of primary or secondary FGF23 excess or deficiency. The physiologic effects of FGF23 were originally identified in studies of rare hereditary and acquired diseases of primary FGF23 excess (left upper quadrant) and confirmed in human studies and animal models of FGF23 deficiency (right upper quadrant). Non–FGF23-dependent causes of phosphate wasting and impaired vitamin D signaling cause appropriate, secondary FGF23 deficiency (right lower quadrant), whereas CKD and deficiency of klotho, the FGF23 co-receptor, cause secondary FGF23 excess (left lower quadrant). Of all of the listed diseases and clinical settings, CKD is far and away the most common. *In contrast to absolute FGF23 deficiency, tumoral calcinosis can be caused by a defect in posttranslational glycosylation of FGF23, leading to high circulating levels of inactive C-terminal FGF23 fragments but absence of intact, biologically active FGF23. **Klotho deficiency differs metabolically from the other clinical settings in this quadrant in that 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D) levels are high as a result of lack of inhibition of the renal 1-α-hydroxylase by the faulty FGF23-klotho axis. Phenotypically, klotho deficiency causes a syndrome of tumoral calcinosis. ***In 1-α-hydroxylase deficiency, 1,25D levels are low, unlike the other clinical settings in this quadrant.
