Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a hormone that regulates phosphorus and vitamin D metabolism.1 Associations of FGF23 with stroke outcomes are less clear. A recent article by Panwar et al2 indicated that there was a graded association of FGF23 with risk of cardioembolic stroke, but there was no significant association between FGF23 with other ischemic stroke subtypes or with hemorrhagic strokes.Other studies have been performed on this similar topic. Elevated FGF23 …
