Question
Can hypophosphatemic ant-D rickets be alleviated?
Answer
Vitamin D deficiency rickets is a common childhood disease, accounting for 95% of all rickets. This condition is caused by a systemic calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorder due to vitamin D deficiency in children, characterized by incomplete mineralization of the pituitary or bone tissue, or bone softening. It most often occurs in children under 2 years old, but severe cases can also appear in adults. By supplementing with vitamin D and calcium, and using plaster casts in severe cases, the vast majority of cases can be cured. Treatment costs vary depending on the treatment plan and hospital.
