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.

Grandma2, ask to have your grandchild tested for osteogenesis imperfecta. This sounds more like that than rickets, and it's something many doctors don't think to check for. (Posted by Anne Wingate, United States Date : 11/10/2008 ) |
