<h3>Background</h3> Osteomalacia is a bone disorder characterized by decreased mineralization. Vitamin D deficiency and hypophosphatemia are the most frequent causes. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) hormone secreted osteocytes in response to increased calcitriol serum phosphate levels. FGF23 main function levels regulation, decreasing sodium-phosphate cotransporter expression on proximal convoluted tubule. Thus, reduces calcium reabsorption increases urine excretion. may also suppress...

<h3>Background</h3> Anti-SSA autoantibodies can be differentiated according to their antigenic target proteins as anti-Ro60 (60 kDa) or anti-Ro52 (52 kDa). Anti-SSA(Ro60) are clearly associated with Connective Tissue Diseases (CTD), but the clinical significance of anti-SSA(Ro52) remains unclear. <h3>Objectives</h3> To analyze disease phenotype patients and/or anti-Ro60. <h3>Methods</h3> Multicenter, cross-sectional study Ro60 positive followed at 10 Rheumatology centers from January 2018...
<h3>Background</h3> Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) is microcrystalline arthropathy that affect space joints and fibrocartilage, leading to inflammation structural damage.
