In children, the condition is called rickets and is usually caused by a deficiency of vitamin D Conditions that may lead to osteomalacia include: Inadequate dietary intake of vitamin D Inadequate exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet radiation), which produces vitamin D in the body Malabsorption of vitamin D by the intestines Other conditions that may cause osteomalacia include: Hereditary or acquired disorders of vitamin D metabolism Kidney failure and acidosis Phosphate depletion associated with low dietary intake of phosphates Kidney disease or cancer (rare) Side effects of medications used to treat seizures Use of very strong sunscreen, limited exposure of the body to sunlight, short days of sunlight, and smog are factors that decrease formation of vitamin D within the body.

Contents: Osteopenia - Overview Book Reviews Medical Definitions of Osteopenia, Osteomalacia, Osteoporosis and Rickets Read my Overview When my doctor pointed out that I was at high risk for osteopenia because of my history of scoliosis and my thin build, I started reading everything I could about osteopenia and osteoporosis prevention and treatment. Out of the many books I looked at that are currently available on the subjects, the books reviewed below are the ones I found the most helpful. In the book Food and Our Bones the author focuses on osteoporosis, but she also also discusses bone health and bone density in general. The book Preventing and Reversing Osteoporosis is also intended for people with osteoporosis, but since it covers a variety of bone density treatment factors such as diet, exercise programs, magnesium, calcium, vitamin K, vitamin D and zinc, it should also be valuable reading for people with any bone-related health condition such as osteopenia (a precursor condition to osteoporosis), osteomalacia and rickets.

Summary Overview Pectus excavatum (PE) is defined as an abnormal formation of the rib cage where the breastbone caves in, resulting in a sunken chest appearance. Many doctors describe PE as a cosmetic defect or a congenital defect that is correctable only through surgery. But is it? This web site looks at the environmental factors that may influence pectus excavatum and the other rachitic skeletal features that often occur along with it, such as bowed limbs, scoliosis and flat feet. Return to top Scoliosis, Bone Densities and Pectus Excavatum Research shows that pectus excavatum is closely associated with scoliosis . Almost all studies of scoliosis and bone densities show that people with the disorder have low bone densities. A 1999 study in Europe recommended that everyone with scoliosis be screened for osteopenia, even children. (See my related section on

Oncogenic osteomalacia Medical journals continue to publish case reports of this unusal disease, also known as tumor-induced osteomalacia. It is one of the most interesting paraneoplastic syndromes. Clinical features The tumors are usually benign, vascular, small mesencymal tumors such as hemangiomas, that are difficult to locate. They frequently are found in area of the sinuses, some are in bone or skin. A few cases of metastatic prostate carcinoma and small cell carcinoma have also been assoicated with low phosphate and osteomalacia. Myeloma with light chain nephropathy can cause hypophosphatemia but this is a form of Fanconi's syndrome and does not have the same pathophysiology. The tumors can occur at any age in both genders. It may take longer than a decade to locate them. Patients present with muscle weakness, bone pain, or fractures. Children will have rickets (bowing at the knees). Xrays disclose osteopenia, Looser's zones or wide epiphyseal plates. Bone scans may show multiple lesions, and increased activity at the ends of the ribs resembles the "rachetic rosary" seen with vitamin D deficiency. larger view) Lab values typically include very low phosphate and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, but normal 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. There is renal phosphate loss, but renal function is otherwise normal. Amino-aciduria, renal tubular acidosis, or glucosuria indicate Fanconi's syndrome, which may resemble oncogenic osteomalacia. Calcium may be normal or slightly low. Parathyroid hormone is increased in some cases. Alkaline phosphate is elevated. Other routine biochemical tests are unremarkable.

Buy the Book SECTION 3 Medical Conditions CHAPTER 22 Osteoporosis TOPICS Osteoporosis What Is Osteomalacia? Osteomalacia means soft bones. Like osteoporosis, osteomalacia weakens the bones and makes bones more likely to break. However, the process is different from that in osteoporosis. In osteoporosis, bone is broken down faster than it is re-formed. In osteomalacia, the two activities are balanced, but the bone that is formed does not become dense and hard (mineralized). Among older people, osteomalacia is much less common than osteoporosis. Osteomalacia is usually caused by vitamin D deficiency or by a digestive tract or kidney disorder. These disorders can interfere with the body's use of vitamin D. Rarely, osteomalacia is caused by a low phosphate level. Osteomalacia causes fatigue and pain in the back, ribs, and hips. Muscles in the upper arms and thighs become weak. People with osteomalacia may have trouble getting up from a chair or climbing steps. They may waddle when they walk. Like osteoporosis, osteomalacia leads to bone fractures. Doctors diagnose osteomalacia with blood tests, x-rays, and sometimes a biopsy. Osteomalacia is treated with vitamin D or phosphate supplements depending on the cause.
