Abstract

Introduction: Volume overload is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke in hemodialysis patients. The use of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) as a volume overload marker has been validated in multiple studies.

Objectives: This is a prospective cross-sectional study considering the association between FGF23 and bioimpedance-measured volume overload in hemodialysis patients.

Patients and Methods: Bioimpedance analysis was performed on 43 hemodialysis patients at the end of hemodialysis to evaluate the remaining volume overload and serum FGF23 was measured before hemodialysis.

Results: The results indicated no significant correlation between mean serum FGF23 levels and volume overload in hemodialysis patients (P=0.824).

Conclusion: Although this study did not show any association between volume overload and FGF23, further studies are needed to define the role of FGF23 as a volume overload marker. 


Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:

In this study, we aimed to assess the correlation between FGF-23 and overload in hemodialysis patients. We found fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has not any significant association with overload in hemodialysis patients.
