In childhood it causes the condition Rickets, producing deformities in the growing bones. It is due to lack of function of vitamin D which is essential for normal mineralisation, either because of lack of dietary intake, because of malabsorption, because of lack of exposure to sunlight or because of kidney or liver disease. More rarely it may be due to an inherited resistance to the effect of vitamin D. In the adult it causes pain and bony tenderness and may cause spontaneous fractures. The treatment depends upon the underlying cause. return to bone and joint disorders return to body map home WIS ... contact us

Nombres alternativos: Raquitismo Causas, incidencia y factores de riesgo: La osteomalacia tiene numerosas causas. En los ni±os se la llama raquitismo y a menudo la ocasiona una deficiencia de vitamina D . Las condiciones que pueden producir osteomalacia son el consumo inadecuado de vitamina D en la dieta, la exposici³n insuficiente a la luz del sol (radiaci³n ultravioleta), la cual forma vitamina D en el cuerpo, y la malabsorci³n de vitamina D en el intestino. Otras condiciones que causan osteomalacia son los trastornos del metabolismo de la vitamina D adquiridos o hereditarios, la insuficiencia renal y la acidosis , la insuficiencia de fosfato asociada a su bajo consumo en la dieta, a la enfermedad renal o c¡ncer (esto ºltimo es raro) y los efectos secundarios de los medicamentos empleados para tratar convulsiones Los factores de riesgo se relacionan con las causas.

Endocrine Abstracts previous abstract next abstract Abstract Hyperparathyroidism and osteomalacia - primary, or teritiary? Department of Endocrinology, West Middlesex University Hospital, London, UK. Most patients with vitamin D deficiency and osteomalacia have elevated parathyroid levels with normal or low serum calciums .This hyperparathyroidism is described as secondary hyperparathyroidism and resolves with correction of vitamin deficiency. We describe three cases where there was coexistant osteomalacia vitamin D deficiency, elevated parathyroid hormone and hypercalcaemia. Case 1 A 40 year old Asian female presented with a six month history of bone pain. She had a waddling gait. Investigations revealed calcium 2.83mmol/l and alkaline phosphatase 779 IU/l, PTH 668 ng/l (12-72), 25-hydroxy Vitamin D was undetectable. Radiographs showed generalised osteopaenia and hyperparathyroid bone disease. She was commenced of Ergocalciferol and her calcium rose to 3.04 mmol/l. The PTH level remained elevated after 3 months. She had a parathyroidectomy. At histology there was evivdence of an underlying parathyroid carcinoma. Case 2 A 41 year old Asian lady was complaining of pain in her right hand and forearm. She had a calcium of 2.76 mmol/l. PTH was 19.1 IU/l (1.05-6.84) and an undetectable 25-hydroxy vitamin D. She has been commenced on Ergocalciferol, and is now pregnant.

osteomalacia Osteomalacia is characterised by loss of skeletal mass as a consequence of inadequate mineralisation of the organic bone matrix or osteoid. It is the adult counterpart of rickets. The most common cause is a defect in vitamin D metabolism. Osteomalacia may be difficult to discriminate clinically from other osteopenias - osteoporosis, osteitis fibrosa, and certain of the stages of Paget's disease; however, biochemically osteomalacia is the only osteopenia in which mineralisation is reduced.

ORCID Orthopaedic Rare Conditions Internet Database Malabsorption Home Page ORCID home page ORCID contents Malabsorption Leading to Osteomalacia - Cases 62 year old female reported by Myles Clough Summary: 25 years ago underwent partial gastrectomy for peptic ulcer disease. This was followed by severe dumping syndrome and malabsorption of such severity she had to have iron infusions. She presented on October 28 1991 with complaints of back and right hip pain of many months duration. She had been investigated for hip pain including xrays and a bone scan by her family doctor in 1989 with no diagnostic findings. With the marked increase in hip pain a bone scan was repeated in 1991 showing increased uptake in the right hip. The xray showed a fracture of the base of the femoral neck with mild varus deformity. R hip 28 Oct 1991 Clinical impression "This patient appears to have a pathological fracture, in that there has been no event of trauma sufficiently severe to cause a fracture. In addition she has had progressive pain in the area . . . one must consider metabolic bone disease and Paget's or Vitamin D deficiency are reasonably good candidates for this type of aetiology . . . it is likely that a reduction of the deformity can be undertaken and that the femoral neck fracture can be treated operatively and result in healing. I have warned her that there is a risk of non-union requiring a total hip replacement".

Biblioteca Storica Osteomalacia Teodoro von Jürgensen. Manuale di Patologia Speciale Medica, Unione Editrice Napoletana, 1888 A cura di: Walter Grassi e Rossella De Angelis Cattedra di Reumatologia, Università di Ancona Nei trattati di Medicina del XIX secolo l’osso e le sue malattie sono state oggetto di attenta valutazione. Nel "Manuale di Patologia Speciale Medica" di Teodoro von Jürgensen l’osteomalacia viene definita come malattia " rara, a decorso cronico.... colpisce a preferenza le donne nell’età da’ 25 a’ 40 anni ". Le cause non sono note, ma il quadro clinico ed il decorso di malattia appaiono ben documentate. La terapia si basa anche su un approccio non farmacologico " Nelle donne si dovrebbe evitare quanto più possibile il ripetersi della gravidanza, e l’allattamento devesi proibire in tutte le circostanze, per quanto è possibile, bisogna cercare di attuare condizioni favorevoli alla vita ". Il corso dell’osteomalacia si estende per anni. – Singoli casi di guarigione sono certamente riferiti; ma la prognosi è in generale cattiva. Se accidenti intercorrenti non danno luogo all’esito letale, questo segue per marasmo. Possono divenire esiziali gravi operazioni ostetriche implicanti estremo pericolo di vita (taglio cesareo per bacino stenotico), parimente le malattie polmonari con torace deformato, ed anche le bronchiti alquanto estese.

Prevention Osteomalacia Definition: A softening of the bones in adults caused by a failure of the normal calcification (calcium deposits). 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 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.

Back Other Conditions This section of LivingWith explains disorders that can involve the bones and joints, but whose main symptoms relate to other organs. The information on the conditions below is provided by MediMedia (NZ) Ltd in association with Arthritis NZ. Contents: Gout Psoriatic Arthritis Systemic lupus erythematosus Fibromyalgia ... Ankylosing Spondylitis Gout What is gout? Gout is one of the most common forms of arthritis (joint inflammation). It appears as an acute attack, often coming on overnight. Within 12-24 hours there is severe pain and swelling in the affected joint. The skin over the joint may be red and shiny. Gout usually affects only one or two joints at a time - most often the feet and ankles. The ball of the big toe is the most common site. Without treatment the attack subsides in a week or so. When patients first develop gout there may be intervals of many months or even years between attacks. As time goes by, these tend to become more frequent and more severe and eventually many joints may be involved, sometimes all at the same time. At this stage a state of chronic or continuous joint disease may develop, with progressive joint damage, disability and crippling (chronic gout). Gout affects mostly men and it is very rare in women, until after menopause, when it is quite often seen. Gout is very common in New Zealand and it is particularly common in Maori and Pacific Islanders. Some surveys have shown it to be present in up to 10% of adult males.
