Since the discovery of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in 2000 (1), our understanding of the mechanisms of phosphate homeostasis and of bone mineralization has grown exponentially. FGF23 is the link between intestine, bone, and kidney together in phosphate regulation. However, we still do not know the complex mechanism of phosphate homeostasis and bone mineralization. The physiological role of FGF23 is to regulate serum phosphate. Secreted mainly by osteocytes and osteo- blasts in the skeleton (2-3), it modulates kidney handling of phosphate reabsorption and calcitriol produc-tion. Genetic and acquired abnormalities in FGF23 structure and metabolism cause conditions of either hyper-FGF23 or hypo-FGF23. Hyper-FGF23 is related to hypophosphatemia, while hypo-FGF23 is related to hyperphosphatemia. Both hyper-FGF23 and hypo-FGF23 are detrimentalto humans. In this review, we will discuss the vathovhvsiology of FGF23 and hvver-FGF23 related renal vhosvhate wasting disorders (4).展开更多
