This cluster of papers focuses on the complex interplay of FGF23, phosphate, calcification, and mineral metabolism in the context of chronic kidney disease. It explores the role of parathyroid hormone, vascular health, and the impact of Klotho deficiency on mineral homeostasis. The cluster also delves into the implications of hyperphosphatemia and calcification on cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease.
