Clinical Information
Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) is a phosphaturic hormone that acts on the proximal renal tubules to block phosphate reuptake. Production of FGF23 by a particular mesenchymal tumor, phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor, is responsible for the great majority of cases of tumor-induced osteomalacia.
Interpretation
This test, when not accompanied by a pathology consultation request, will be answered as either positive or negative. If additional interpretation or analysis is needed, request PATHC / Pathology Consultation along with this test.
Cautions
Age of a cut paraffin section can affect immunoreactivity. Stability thresholds vary widely among published literature and are antigen dependent. Best practice is for paraffin sections to be cut within 6 weeks.
