Osteoporatic bone is normally mineralized, which means that for the volume of bone, it contains the correct amount of calcium and phosphorus, but there is too little of it. Because there is too little bone, the bone is not as strong as it should be, which increases the risk of fractures. Osteoporosis is an asymptomatic disease until there is a fracture; that may be the first time the diagnosis is entertained. Normal bone is similar in appearance to a sea sponge. It is composed of thick interconnected plates separated by spaces. In osteoporosis, the plates gradually become thinner, then perforate and eventually disappear. Due to this deterioration in the architecture of bone, it becomes less able to withstand the stresses and strains of everyday life. A person may have osteoporosis and never have a broken bone. However, if they have a fall or other injury, they are more likely to break a bone than someone with normal bone.

Conditions that may result in osteomalacia include inadequate dietary intake of vitamin D, inadequate exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet radiation), which forms vitamin D in the body, and malabsorption of vitamin D by the intestine. Other conditions include hereditary or acquired disorders of vitamin D metabolism, kidney failure and acidosis, phosphate depletion associated with low dietary intake or kidney disease, and side effects of medications used to treat seizures. Risk factors are related to the causes. In the elderly, there is an increased risk for those who tend to remain indoors and who avoid milk because of lactose intolerance. The incidence is 1 in 1000 people.

This lack of calcium can result from inadequate dietary calcium, inadequate exposure to sunshine (needed to make vitamin D), or from not eating enough vitamin D egg yolks and dairy products Rickets can also be caused by conditions that impair absorption of vitamin D and/or calcium, even when these nutrients are consumed in appropriate amounts. Activation of vitamin D in the body requires normal liver and kidney function. Damage to either organ can cause rickets. Some variations of rickets do not respond well to supplementation with vitamin D and calcium. Proper diagnosis must be made by a healthcare professional. Osteomalacia is an adult version of rickets. This condition is treated with vitamin D, sometimes in combination with calcium supplements. Osteomalacia should be diagnosed, and its treatment monitored, by a doctor.

Osteomalacia Incomplete mineralisation of normal osteoid tissue after the closure of the growth plates. Rickets and osteomalacia are different manifestations of the same underlying process, depending on whether the growth plates have closed. Normal bone mineralization depends on adequate calcium and phosphate and this is maintained by vitamin D. Vitamin D is supplied either in the diet or produced from a precursor in the skin following exposure to ultraviolet light. Production of metabolically active vitamin D requires hydroxylation, which occurs first in the liver and then in the kidneys to produce 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Inadequate supply of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 results in osteomalacia. Risk Factors Low dietary vitamin D Lack of sunlight Malabsorption, e.g. coeliac disease , bowel resection Renal osteomalacia: failure to produce 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3

Dear DOCTOR Owen: A recent bone density test did not show osteoporosis, but I have been complaining of bone pain. My doctors said that I have “fibromyalgia” and that I must be under stress. I certainly cannot sleep because of the pain, and nothing seems to help. I had gastric bypass for obesity more than a decade ago, but have had no problems from this other than occasional diarrhea. Could the obesity surgery be related? Bare Bones Dear “BB”: Be sure your doctor checks you for osteomalacia. In children, this is also known as rickets; in grown-ups, it is sometimes known as “adult rickets.” This condition is caused by a deficiency in Vitamin D. Osteomalacia is more common than most physicians realize and should always be considered in patients with unexplained pain—especially the kind you describe. The pain of osteomalacia is typically difficult to localize. All the bones are tender—especially the long ones in the legs and arms—because of inflammation of the nerve fibers imbedded in the lining of the bone (called the periosteum). When Vitamin D is deficient, the lining of the bone becomes activated, causing more bone to be absorbed and replaced at an accelerated rate. This is similar to the “growing pains” experienced by adolescents who are going through the growth spurt. In diagnosed cases of osteomalacia

Glossary Diseases/Conditions General Information about Rickets Rickets is a deficiency of Vitamin D which is also known by many other names like Osteomalacia, Renal Osteodystrophy, Paediatric Osteomalacia, Vitamin D deficiency and Renal Rickets. This disease involves softening and weakening of bones in children due to deficiency of Vitamin D. This softening occurs from a loss of the mineral calcium from the skeleton as a result of which bones become flexible and gradually are molded by forces, such as bearing weight, that are exerted on them. This condition could lead to deformities of the body structure. Rickets is most likely to occur during periods of rapid growth, when the body demands high levels of calcium and phosphate. Rickets may be seen in young children 6 to 24 months old and is uncommon in newborns.

Carpenter, M.D. Oncogenic osteomalacia has fascinated physiology-minded physicians for decades. The traditional name for this peculiar disorder connotes its classification as a paraneoplastic phenomenon. Such a characterization is a bit off the mark, however, in that the involved "neoplasm" is often (but not always) of limited clinical significance apart from its causal role in the musculoskeletal disease. Tumors responsible for oncogenic osteomalacia are usually benign rather than invasive, whereas generalized, debilitating osteomalacia and rickets are the important clinical problems for the patient.

These two entities have similar gross pathological, histological, and radiological findings. Among the causative factors of both disorders are abnormalities of vitamin D metabolism and syndromes resulting primarily from renal tubular phosphate loss. Prior to closure of the growth plate, rickets and osteomalacia coexist. Osteomalacia is characterized by abnormal quantities of osteoid coating the surfaces of trabeculae and lining the haversian canals in the cortex (osteoid seams). Loosers zones or Milkmans pseudofractures are strongly suggestive but not diagnostic of osteomalacia ( Fig.1

78. How Do Osteoporosis And Osteomalacia Differ? Although both can cause weak bone, osteoporosis and osteomalacia are separate entities with distinct pathophysiology and treatment issues. http://osteoed.org/faq/secondary/vitD_differences.html

Back to Common Questions Glossary How do osteoporosis and osteomalacia differ? Osteomalacia is a defect in mineralization of osteoid (lack of incorporation of calcium and/or phosphate into the osteoid protein bone matrix). Osteoporosis is a reduction in the quantity of normally mineralized bone. Radiographically, osteomalacia and osteoporosis may be indistinguishable, as both may show diffuse osteopenia. In osteomalacia, however, looser zones or pseudofractures may be seen, although these findings are rare. Looser zones are small fractures that develop perpendicular to the long axis of the bone and are often bilaterally symmetric. These radiographic lucencies are caused by the lack of mineralization. Osteomalacia may be mild and asymptomatic or severe, predisposing people to bone deformities, pain, and pseudofractures. Symptoms include vague bone pain, generalized myopathy (particularly in the proximal muscles), and bone tenderness of the appendicular skeleton. Osteoporosis, on the other hand, predominantly affects the axial skeleton and is asymptomatic until fractures occur, leading to acute and chronic pain. It is imperative to consider osteomalacia in any individual with low bone density, because the treatment differs from that for osteoporosis.
