Understanding Rickets:

Rickets is a bone disease commonly observed in children during active growth stages. It is characterized by bony deformities such as bow legs or knock knees, along with symptoms like joint pain and excessive crying. Young children below 2 years may exhibit upper limb bone deformities, recurrent chest infections, protruding abdomen, and abnormalities in skull bones. Muscle weakness may also manifest as difficulty in mobility.

 

Causes of Rickets:

Rickets typically occurs due to abnormalities in calcium and phosphorus metabolism, often stemming from vitamin D deficiency or resistance to normal levels of vitamin D. Conditions affecting the kidneys can also contribute to rickets.

 

Diagnostic Tests:

Diagnostic evaluations for rickets usually include X-rays of affected bones and joints, along with assessments of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels in the body. Additional investigations may be conducted based on clinical and biochemical profiles.

 

Treatment Approach:

Treatment of rickets varies depending on individual requirements. Some children may benefit from vitamin D and calcium supplementation, while others may require phosphorus supplementation. Specific treatments tailored to the underlying cause of rickets may also be necessary.
