This disease involves softening and weakening of bones in children due to deficiency of Vitamin D. This softening occurs from a loss of the mineral calcium from the skeleton as a result of which bones become flexible and gradually are molded by forces, such as bearing weight, that are exerted on them. This condition could lead to deformities of the body structure. Rickets is most likely to occur during periods of rapid growth, when the body demands high levels of calcium and phosphate. Rickets may be seen in young children 6 to 24 months old and is uncommon in newborns. What are the causes of rickets?

References Rickets is an abnormal bone formation in children resulting from inadequate calcium in their bones. This lack of calcium can result from inadequate dietary calcium, inadequate exposure to sunshine (needed to make vitamin D), or from not eating enough vitamin D egg yolks and dairy products Rickets can also be caused by conditions that impair absorption of vitamin D and/or calcium, even when these nutrients are consumed in appropriate amounts. Activation of vitamin D in the body requires normal liver and kidney function. Damage to either organ can cause rickets. Some variations of rickets do not respond well to supplementation with vitamin D and calcium. Proper diagnosis must be made by a healthcare professional. Osteomalacia is an adult version of rickets. This condition is treated with vitamin D, sometimes in combination with calcium supplements. Osteomalacia should be diagnosed, and its treatment monitored, by a doctor.

References Introduction Osteomalacia is the failure of bone and/or the epiphyseal cartilage to adequately mineralize. In children, this is called rickets while, in adults, it is called osteomalacia. Causes The underlying causes include: Dietary deficiency A deficiency of Vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate in the diet is a cause of osteomalacia or rickets. Gastrointestinal disorders Osteomalacia, or rickets, can be traced to gastric disease, hepatobiliary disease, enteric disorders, malabsorption syndromes, chronic diarrhea, post-surgical malabsorption, or any disorder which inhibits the absorption of adequate amounts of calcium in the gut. Vitamin D "resistance" Historically, this group of metabolic disorders, which result in rickets or osteomalacia, was so named because of their apparent resistance to treatment with Vitamin D. More importantly, these patients are now known to have an abnormality in the kidney and/or biochemical pathway(s) that results in systemic manifestations. There are four pathogenic mechanisms which account for the bone problems seen in these disorders: Phosphate wasting Hypophosphatemic rickets, or phosphate diabetes (still sometimes called Vitamin D resistant rickets), is a sex-linked dominant disorder of the renal tubule resulting in inability to resorb phosphate. The calcium, PTH, and Vitamin D levels are normal, but serum phosphate is low while urine phosphate is elevated. Treatment consists of phosphate replacement.

How do we treat osteomalacia and rickets? These are the disorders that are caused by a less than adequate intake of vitamin D. They are really the same condition; rickets is the name used when it occurs in children while osteomalacia is used for adults. Where do we get vitamin D from? There are two sources of vitamin D: Diet. Formation in the skin. Who is at risk of vitamin D deficiency? In Britain the people most at risk of vitamin D deficiency are those who, for one reason or another, get little exposure to sunlight. Immigrants from Asia, particularly women and children, are at risk, as are elderly people living at home but not getting out and elderly people in some residential and nursing homes. What are the symptoms of osteomalacia and rickets? In osteomalacia there may be widespread bone pains and sometimes muscle weakness. Fractures can occur. In rickets aches and pains may occur and there may be visible enlargement of some bone ends such as at the wrists. How do we test for vitamin D lack?

Removal of the tumor results in reduction and eventual disappearance of the signs and symptoms. These patients present with bone and muscle pain and severe muscle weakness. The most common sites of the tumors include the bone and soft tissues but many organs have been implicated.

J Korean Med Sci 1994 Aug;9(4):289-98 Abstract quote Oncogenic osteomalacia is an unusual and rare clinicopathologic syndrome characterized by mesenchymal tumors that apparently produce osteomalacia and biochemical abnormalities consisting of hypophosphatemia, normocalcemia, and increased levels of alkaline phosphatase. We collected from the Mayo Clinic files and from our consultation files the records for 17 cases of osteomalacia associated with bone lesions. There were five cases of fibrous dysplasia, three of hemangiopericytoma, and two of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor. There was one case each of osteosarcoma, chondroblastoma, chondromyxoid fibroma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, giant cell tumor, metaphyseal fibrous defect, and hemangioma.

Prevention Osteomalacia Definition: Osteomalacia involves softening of the bones caused by a deficiency of vitamin D or problems with the metabolism of this vitamin. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: There are numerous causes of osteomalacia. In children, the condition is called rickets and is usually caused by a deficiency of vitamin D . Conditions that may lead to osteomalacia include inadequate dietary intake of vitamin D, inadequate exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet radiation), which produces vitamin D in the body and malabsorption of vitamin D by the intestines. Other conditions that can cause osteomalacia include hereditary or acquired disorders of vitamin D metabolism kidney failure and acidosis ; phosphate depletion associated with low dietary intake of phosphates; kidney disease or cancer (rare), and side effects of medications used to treat

Chapters at Harrison's ABSTRACT Background Mutations in fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) cause autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets. Clinical and laboratory findings in this disorder are similar to those in oncogenic osteomalacia, in which tumors abundantly express FGF-23 messenger RNA, and to those in X-linked hypophosphatemia, which is caused by inactivating mutations in a phosphate-regulating endopeptidase called PHEX. Recombinant FGF-23 induces phosphaturia and hypophosphatemia in vivo, suggesting that it has a role in phosphate regulation. To determine whether FGF-23 circulates in healthy persons and whether it is elevated in those with oncogenic osteomalacia or X-linked hypophosphatemia, an immunometric assay was developed to measure it. Methods Using affinity-purified, polyclonal antibodies against

Tumor-induced osteomalacia develops because of tumors that are predominantly of benign mesenchymal origin but that may occasionally be malignant, as was recently reported.
