These two entities have similar gross pathological, histological, and radiological findings. Among the causative factors of both disorders are abnormalities of vitamin D metabolism and syndromes resulting primarily from renal tubular phosphate loss. Prior to closure of the growth plate, rickets and osteomalacia coexist. Osteomalacia is characterized by abnormal quantities of osteoid coating the surfaces of trabeculae and lining the haversian canals in the cortex (osteoid seams).

In children, the condition is called rickets and is usually caused by a deficiency of vitamin D . Conditions that may result in osteomalacia include inadequate dietary intake of vitamin D, inadequate exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet radiation), which forms vitamin D in the body, and malabsorption of vitamin D by the intestine. Other conditions include hereditary or acquired disorders of vitamin D metabolism kidney failure and acidosis , phosphate depletion associated with low dietary intake or kidney disease , and side effects of medications used to treat seizures . Risk factors are related to the causes. In the elderly, there is an increased risk for those who tend to remain indoors and who avoid milk because of lactose intolerance The incidence is 1 in 1000 people. Prevention: An adequate dietary intake of dairy products that are fortified with vitamin D and exposure of the body to sunlight can prevent osteomalacia caused by vitamin D deficiency in adults.

Rickets/Osteomalacia Introduction Checklist Symptoms Treatments ... References Children with rickets have abnormal bone formation 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.

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?

These are disorders caused by insufficient levels of vitamin D in the body. They are really the same condition; rickets is the name used when it occurs in children whereas osteomalacia is the term used for adults. Osteomalacia and rickets are the result of vitamin D deficiency. Where do we get vitamin D from? There are two sources of vitamin D: a person's diet formation in the skin through exposure to sunlight. There are few dietary sources of vitamin D. The best ones are fatty fish such as salmon and sardines, and margarines supplemented with vitamin D. Milk contains added vitamin D in the USA but not in the UK. Most people in the UK get most of their vitamin D from exposure of the skin to sunlight. The average person has enough vitamin D stored in their body to last for two or three years. Who is at risk of vitamin D deficiency?

Causas, incidencia y factores de riesgo: Existen numerosas causas de osteomalacia. En los niños es llamada raquitismo y es usualmente causada por una deficiencia de vitamina D . Las condiciones que pueden producir osteomalacia son un consumo inadecuado de vitamina D en la dieta, exposición insuficiente a la luz del sol (radiación ultravioleta), la cual forma vitamina D en el cuerpo y a una malabsorción de vitamina D en el intestino. Otras condiciones son trastornos de metabolismo de vitamina D adquiridos o hereditarios, insuficiencia renal acidosis , insuficiencia de fosfato asociado con un bajo consumo en la dieta o enfermedad renal y los efectos secundarios de los medicamentos empleados para tratar convulsiones . Los factores de riesgo se relacionan con las causas. En las personas de edad avanzada existe un incremento en el riesgo para quienes tienden a permanecer en el hogar y quienes evitan la leche debido a la intolerancia a la lactosa La incidencia es de 1 de cada 1.000 personas.

Einhorn, MD Frederick Kaplan, MD Rickets and Osteomalacia Bibliography Rickets and osteomalacia Rickets (youth) and osteomalacia (adult) result from the failure to mineralize epiphyseal cartilage, which increases the hypertrophic zone, and bone, which decreases the mineralization rate and increases unmineralized osteoid. Features of clinical osteomalacia include: localized bone pain and muscle weakness. Radiographic evidence of osteomalacia include: widening of the epiphyseal plate (paint brush); cupping, indistinct zone of provisional calcification; stress fractures (Looser's lines); long leg bowing (genu valgum/genu varum). Laboratory evidence of osteomalacia includes: normal or decreased levels of calcium; decreased phosphorous decreased (increase in renal); increased levels of alkaline phosphatase; decreased 25(OH) and vitamin D; and an increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH). Specifically, with vitamin D deficiency and blind loop GI calcium is normal or decreased; phosphorus is decreased; PTH is increased; 25(OH) is increased; and vitamin D is decreased. In hypophosphatemic disorders, an x-linked dominant proximal tubule defect, calcium is normal; phosphorus is very decreased; PTH is normal; and 25 (OH) is normal. Renal osteodystrophy results in decreased calcium; highly increased phosphorus; very highly elevated PTH; and normal 25 (OH).
