Rickets/osteomalacia is an important problem in a tropical country. Many cases are due to poor vitamin D intake or calcium deficient diets and can be corrected by administration of calcium and vitamin D. However, some cases are refractory to vitamin D therapy and are related to renal defects. These include rickets of renal tubular acidosis (RTA), hypophosphatemic rickets, and vitamin D dependent rickets (VDDR). The latter is due to impaired action of 1α-hydroxylase in renal tubule. These varieties need proper diagnosis and specific treatment.
佝偻病/骨软化症在热带国家是一个重要问题。许多病例是由于维生素D摄入不足或饮食中钙缺乏所致,通过补充钙和维生素D可以纠正。然而,有些病例对维生素D治疗无效,与肾脏缺陷有关。这些包括肾小管酸中毒(RTA)佝偻病、低磷血症性佝偻病和维生素D依赖性佝偻病(VDDR)。后者是由于肾小管中1α-羟化酶的作用受损。这些类型需要正确诊断和特殊治疗。
