Data are means±SD or medians [25th, 75th percentiles]. Differences between CKD stages were tested using one-way ANOVA. P value represents pairwise tests of significance using the Sidak procedure. Analyses of FGF23 and PTH were performed using log-transformed values. iPTH, immunoreactive parathyroid hormone; FGF23, fibroblast growth factor 23; 25OHD, 25-hydroxyvitamin D; 1,25(OH)2D, 1,25-dihyroxyvitamin D; FEPi, fractional urinary excretion of phosphate calculated as (urine phosphorus×serum creatinine/urine creatinine×serum phosphorus)×100.
