Comments on: Second Chances in Mineral Metabolism http://www.nephrologynow.com/publications/second-chances-in-mineral-metabolism Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:29:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Janice Cori Cobb http://www.nephrologynow.com/publications/second-chances-in-mineral-metabolism/comment-page-1#comment-150 Janice Cori Cobb Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:55:08 +0000 http://www.nephrologynow.com/?p=1368#comment-150 I am most intrigued with Dr. Myles Woolf's article concerning bone mineral metabolism, particularly with regard to the role of FGF23. Inasmuch as increased Fibroblast growth factor (FGF23) production is associated with decreased renal function, might that increase, in and of itself, be a contributory agent of causation? Also, of great interest, is the resurgence of increased dietary and supplemental cholecalciferol, both in its application to benefit optimal and appropriate bone mineral metabolism, and, also, its role in ameliorating interstitial nephritis. I very much enjoy accessing the highly informative articles made available through "Nephrology Now".
