Abstract
► A prospective cohort study to identify a predictor of cardiovascular events (CVD). ► We enrolled 738 predialysis outpatients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). ► Serum bone markers, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, phosphaturic hormones were measured. ► Only intact fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) predicted CVD before dialysis onset. ► FGF23 levels did not predict CVD if we continued follow-up after dialysis onset.
