Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) is a phosphaturic hormone secreted by the bone in response to dietary phosphate intake. Since the phosphate content in the diet correlates with the protein content, both plant- and animal-based protein intake can increase the serum FGF23 level. However, a higher percentage of energy from plant protein than from animal protein is associated with a lower serum FGF23 level in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the United States. Since dietary habits differ between Asian and Western populations, we performed a cross-sectional study to determine the association between the percentages of energy from plant and animal proteins and the serum FGF23 level in Japanese CKD patients. In 107 non-dialysis CKD patients (age: 66 ± 9 years; estimated glomerular filtration rate: 56 ± 21 mL/min/1.73 m2), the percentages of energy from plant and animal proteins were assessed using a food frequency questionnaire based on food groups. Venous blood samples were used to measure the serum FGF23, phosphate, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and intact parathyroid hormone levels. The percentages of energy from plant and animal proteins showed a negative and positive association, respectively, with the serum FGF23 level. Furthermore, isocaloric substitution modeling showed that replacing animal protein with plant protein was associated with a low serum FGF23 level. Our findings suggest that encouraging diets with high plant protein level may prevent an increase in the serum FGF23 level in Japanese CKD patients.
