Figure 6: High numbers of early osteocytes are associated with preserved mineralization in CKD bone.

Figure 6:

(A) Osteoid volume (displayed as mean ± standard error) in 28 pediatric dialysis patients with normal numbers of early (FGF23-expressing) osteocytes (“Nl bone FGF23”) as compared to values in 28 pediatric dialysis patients with numbers of FGF23-expressing osteocytes above the upper range of normal (“High bone FGF23”). (B) Number of FGF23-expressing osteocytes (FGF/B.Ar) in 42 pediatric dialysis patients with normal mineralization parameters on bone histomorphometry (Nl min) as compared to numbers of FGF23-expressing osteocytes in 14 pediatric dialysis patients with a mineralization defect (min defect). The asterisk indicates a significant (p<0.05) difference between groups. Grey shading in each panel represents the normal range.
