Excess fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a mature osteocyte-derived phosphaturic hormone, causes chronic hypophosphatemic osteomalacia in adults. This rare condition was recently reported in 2 alcoholic patients, with marked improvement upon cessation of alcohol consumption, suggesting a link between alcohol and FGF23-related hypophosphatemia within the highly limited cases. This study aimed to investigate whether the source of excess FGF23 in alcohol-induced FGF23-related hypophosphatemic osteomalacia is the bone or the other organs. To achieve this goal, an immunohistochemical approach for the bone obtained from a patient was employed. Initial attempts at quantifying FGF23 in the bone using conventional immunohistochemistry (IHC) faced issues in quantifiability and sensitivity for low FGF23 expression levels. Therefore, next-generation IHC with phosphor-integrated dots (PIDs) was applied, which enabled the quantification of FGF23 expression in the bone across a broad range. Preliminary analyses using IHC with PIDs on normal bone samples (
