High plasma C-terminal FGF-23 levels predict poor outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease superimposed with acute kidney injury

Background: Elevated plasma C-terminal fibroblast growth factor-23 (cFGF-23) levels are associated with higher mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI). Our study explored the outcome forecasting accuracy of cFGF-23 in critically ill patients with CKD sup...
