Abstract

Background and aim: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a condition in which there is structural and functional damage to the kidneys that lasts more than 3 months, and when there is a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), phosphate homeostasis is disrupted. FGF-23 acts as a phosphaturic hormone that increases phosphate excretion when there is an increase in serum phosphate levels. The physiological effects of FGF-23 can occur when it binds to Klotho as a co-receptor, where Klotho is mainly produced in the kidneys. Decreased kidney function triggers a decrease in kidney mass, so that Klotho production will decrease. This study aimed to determine the association between the ratio of FGF-23 to Klotho and phosphate levels in patients with CKD. Methods: This was an observational study involving 60 patients with stage 3, 4, and 5 non-dialysis CKD. Serum of FGF-23, Klotho, phosphate, and creatinine were measured using the ELISA method. Statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney, Chi-Square, and Spearman Correlation Tests. Results: The median value of FGF23-Klotho ratio was 0.17. A significant correlation was found between the FGF23-Klotho ratio and phosphate levels (P<0.001, r= 0.581). There was a significant relationship between the female sex and the incidence of hyperphosphatemia (P=0.0038). Conclusion: The higher the FGF23-Klotho ratio, the higher the phosphate levels in CKD patients and it can be a risk factor, protective factor, and for diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic purposes in assessing phosphate levels and hyperphosphatemia conditions in CKD patients.
