  • Hypophosphatemic rickets is a form of rickets that is characterized by low serum phosphate levels and resistance to treatment with ultraviolet radiation or vitamin D ingestion. (medscape.com)
  • Since the early 20th century, ultraviolet radiation or vitamin D ingestion has been recognized as a cure for nutritional rickets, although certain forms of rachitic disease have remained refractory to this therapy. (medscape.com)
  • Treatment with vitamin D produced no change in the rachitic state of these patients, even at rather high doses, leading to the term vitamin D-resistant rickets. (medscape.com)
  • Vitamin D receptor genotype in hypophosphatemic rickets as a predictor of growth and response to treatment. (medscape.com)
  • This disorder was initially called vitamin D resistant rickets, is now called hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets because the primary problem is phosphate wasting rather than true vitamin D resistance. (boneandspine.com)
  • These conditions may result in failure of osteoid calcification (rickets) in children because of a disruption in the pathway of either vitamin D or phosphate metabolism. (medscape.com)
  • The pathophysiology of rickets is not completely understood, nor is the role of the many vitamin D metabolites. (medscape.com)
