Abstract:
The present invention describes the ability to identify chronic kidney disease (CKD) mortality risk in asymptomatic patients. For example, a patient having a normal glomerular filtration rate would be considered likely to have an increased mortality risk for chronic kidney disease upon the detection of an FGF-23 amino acid sequence that is above a normal level, but below CKD Stage 1 levels. Consequently, therapeutic strategies may be implements to prevent morbidity and mortality following chronic kidney disease progression. Such therapeutic strategies can involve phosphate reduction strategies (i.e., for example, reduced dietary intake of phosphorus and/or administration of phosphate binding compound). Further, kits are described providing instruction to determine a specific mortality risk based upon measured FGF-23 levels and estimated glomerular filtration rates.
