Overview
Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FG23) is produced by the osteoclasts and osteoblasts in the bone, and its main function is to regulate the levels of phosphorus and vitamin D in the body. FG23 levels are found to progressively increase in cases of chronic kidney disease (CKD) as an indirect response to maintain the phosphate metabolism. Fibroblast Growth Factor 23, Plasma is a test used to monitor the FG23 levels in the body and thus is an important test for CKD patients. Written by: Dr. Shibani R, Medical Writer, Medical Affairs
