BACKGROUND: Subjects with high fibroblast growth factor 21(FGF21) and 23 (FGF23), endocrine hormones that regulate insulin sensitivity and phosphate metabolism, respectively, are reported to have a higher risk for adverse cardiovascular outcome. Therefore, the relationship of FGF21, FGF23, and α-Klotho (co-receptor for FGF23 signaling) with mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW), two platelet volume indices that reflect platelet activity, was investigated. METHODS: Data from 156 patients admitted to the cardiology department were analyzed. MPV and PDW were measured by an automatic blood counter, and serum FGF21, FGF23, and α-Klotho concentrations were measured by an enzyme-linked immunoassay. RESULTS: Log(FGF21) was significantly correlated with serum triglycerides but did not differ according to the use of non-use of antidiabetic or lipid-lowering drugs. MPV and PDW were significantly correlated (R=0.475, p<0.001). MPV was significantly correlated with log(FGF21) (R=-0.167, p<0.05) and log(FGF23) (R=0.351, p<0.001) but not with log(α-Klotho). Linear regression analysis showed a negative and positive association of log(FGF21) and log(FGF23), respectively, with MPV that was independent of possible confounders including sex, age, renal function, and antithrombotic drug use. In addition, log(FGF23) was found to have a significant independent positive association with PDW. CONCLUSIONS: Among cardiac patients, FGF21 had a negative association with MPV, whereas FGF23 had a positive association. Future studies of serum FGF23/FGF21 concentrations and the incidence of thromboembolic disorders are warranted.
