Serum osteoprotegerin and renal function in the general population: the Tromsø Study
Journal Title: Clinical Kidney Journal - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Serum osteoprotegerin (OPG) is elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and increases with decreasing renal function. However, there are limited data regarding the association between OPG and renal function in the general population. The aim of the present study was to explore the relation between serum OPG and renal function in subjects recruited from the general population.
