BACKGROUND: Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is a bone secreted hormone that regulates phosphate homeostasis and calcitriol levels. FGF-23 concentrations are elevated in chronic kidney disease (CKD), oncogenic osteomalcia and a number of rare hereditary disorders. Studies systematically evaluating the pre-analytical stability of intact FGF-23 are lacking.
METHODS: The stability of FGF-23 was assessed in timed experiments using blood taken into K2-EDTA plasma specimen tubes from a group of healthy participants and from a group with mild-to-moderate CKD. We evaluated the use of aprotinin, a serine protease inhibitor, and a commercially available protease inhibitor cocktail to preserve intact FGF-23 after blood collection. FGF-23 measurements were made using both intact and C-terminal assays.
RESULTS: Both whole blood and separated sample studies demonstrated a rapid loss of intact FGF-23 within 2 h, while concentrations increased using the C-terminal assay. The addition of protease inhibitor cocktail stabilised FGF-23 concentrations for 4 h after blood collection. Intact and C-terminal assay FGF-23 measurements showed poor correlation in both healthy and CKD cohorts.
CONCLUSION: K2-EDTA plasma samples, even when promptly separated, are unsuitable for measurement of FGF-23 unless stabilised with a protease inhibitor cocktail.
