A search of published literature found that other factors that were found to be associated with CKD-aP were elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) [38, 47, 48]; crystal deposition of calcium and phosphate on skin (due to hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia) [49]; high aluminum level [50]; secondary hyperparathyroidism [47]; erythropoietin deficiency, high ferritin level, lower transferrin [30] and xerosis [51]. This evidence concerns the gene TF and hyperphosphatemia.
