Fibroblast Growth Factor 23, High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin, and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in CKD

Minimally elevated cTnI and cTnT levels, detectable by high-sensitivity assays, are associated with elevated FGF-23 levels in stable outpatients with CKD. FGF-23-associated LVH may contribute to detectable hs-cTnI/T levels observed in non-dialysis-dependent patients with CKD.
