Testing FGF23 in anemia with and without kidney disease
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at a blood hormone called FGF23 and whether it is linked to heart (cardiovascular) problems in people with anemia. It also compares people with anemia who do and do not have chronic kidney disease, which may help researchers understand risk and targets.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a substance in your blood called FGF23 that can rise as kidney disease gets worse. Researchers want to see how the level of this substance changes at different stages of CKD.
This study looks at whether a blood protein called FGF23 is linked to irregular heartbeats in people on long-term hemodialysis (kidney dialysis). It may help doctors better predict heart risks.
This study looks at FGF19 to see if it can improve chronic kidney disease in people who do not have diabetes. Participants may receive FGF19 (and may need extra testing such as muscle biopsies).
This study looks for new markers in blood or urine that may help explain heart (cardiovascular) risk in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors better predict risk, especially in those not yet on dialysis.
This study looks at levels of two proteins, alpha-Klotho and FGF23, in people with Hashimoto's thyroiditis compared to healthy volunteers. It aims to understand if these proteins are linked to the disease.
This study looks at how common anemia is in people with chronic kidney disease in China. It may help doctors better understand and manage anemia for patients with kidney problems.
