Fibroblast growth factor 23 correlates with volume status in haemodialysis patients and is not reduced by haemodialysis

Conclusions FGF-23 was associated with volume status in haemodialysis patients. The strong association with UFV suggests that optimization of volume status, for example by more intensive haemodialysis regimens, may also benefit mineral homeostasis. A single dialysis session did not lower FGF-23 levels.
