Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23)

Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a hormone involved in regulating phosphate levels in the body. Elevated FGF23 levels can signal chronic kidney disease progression. Our FGF23 blood test measures levels to screen for kidney dysfunction.

Some key points about our FGF23 test:

• A blood sample is collected and analysed to quantify FGF23 concentration
• Levels above normal may indicate impaired kidney function
• Useful for monitoring patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
• High FGF23 is linked to higher risk of heart disease in CKD patients
• May help guide treatment decisions in advanced CKD

Monitoring FGF23 allows early detection of rising levels before severe kidney damage occurs. Maintaining phosphate balance preserves bone health and reduces vascular calcification risks.

Sample required for FGF23 test

• 3 ml of EDTA plasma is to be collected at your doctor's clinic or at hospital, in the aliquot tube at the proper temperature.
