Impact of Parathyroidectomy on Serum FGF23 and Soluble Klotho in Hemodialysis Patients With Severe Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

Abstract

Our results suggest that the parathyroid gland is not the major site of soluble Klotho production in patients with end-stage renal disease, and the production of Klotho by other organ(s) is affected by alterations in mineral metabolism or medications taken after PTx.
