- In this study we provide data on FGF23 and Klotho measured simultaneously in healthy children.
- Serum phosphate and TmP/GFR were positively associated with FGF23 and Klotho suggesting a counterregulatory effect on phosphate homeostasis.
- The strong association of Klotho with IGF-I could indicate a role of Klotho in linear growth through phosphate regulation.
Data for fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and particularly for Klotho in healthy children are limited. We aimed to investigate the relationship between FGF23 and Klotho with age and TmP/GFR and to evaluate parameters that might affect FGF23 and Klotho. In 159 healthy children (82 boys) with a mean ± SD age of 8.78 ± 3.47 years we measured FGF23 (intact FGF23/iFGF23 and C-terminal FGF23/cFGF23) and soluble aKlotho serum levels by ELISA. Mean ± SD value for cFGF23, was 51.14 ± 12.79 RU/ml whereas median (range) values for iFGF23 and Klotho were 35 (8.8, 120) pg/ml and 1945 (372, 5866) pg/ml respectively. Neither FGF23 nor Klotho were significantly associated with age. Pubertal children had higher Klotho than prepubertal (p < 0.05), and girls had higher levels of cFGF23 (p < 0.05) and Klotho (p < 0.001) than boys. Serum phosphate and TmP/GFR were positively associated with cFGF23 (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001), iFGF23 (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001) and Klotho (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01). Klotho was positively correlated with IGF-I (p < 0.0001) and 1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D (p < 0.05).In this study we provide data on cFGF23, iFGF23, and Klotho measured simultaneously in healthy children. The positive association of serum phosphate and TmP/GFR with FGF23 and Klotho suggests that they have a counterregulatory effect on phosphate homeostasis. The strong association of Klotho with IGF-I could indicate a role of Klotho in linear growth through phosphate regulation, but further studies are required.
