“…Furthermore, various hormones such as parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF‐23) play a key role. Normally, both hormones induce increased urinary excretion of phosphate, and PTH also leads to skeletal phosphate resorption, while FGF‐23 decreases renal phosphate reabsorption (Moe, 2010; Nadkarni & Uribarri, 2014; Perwad et al., 2007; Wheeler & Winkelmayer, 2017). However, in this advanced stage of kidney disease (stage 5), these hormones do not longer compensate sufficiently for the continuous input of phosphate from fluid and dietary intake leading to a positive phosphate balance (Galvao et al., 2013; Nadkarni & Uribarri, 2014).…”
