my sister son was suffering by vitamin-D resistant rickets.he is now 18 months old.is this rickets curable permanently?

there are different types of rickets,I have Hypophosphatemic rickets (previously called vitamin D-resistant rickets) is a disorder in which the bones become painfully soft and bend easily because the blood contains low levels of phosphate.This very rare disorder is nearly always hereditary, passed as a dominant gene that is carried on the X chromosome, one of the two sex chromosomes. The genetic defect causes a kidney abnormality that allows an inappropriately high amount of phosphate to be excreted into the urine, resulting in low levels of phosphate in the blood. Because bones need phosphate for growth and strength, this deficiency causes defective bones. Females with hypophosphatemic rickets have less severe bone disease than males. In rare cases, the disorder develops as a result of certain cancers, such as giant cell tumors of bone, sarcomas, prostate cancer, and breast cancer. Hypophosphatemic rickets is not the same as rickets caused by vitamin D

deficiency (see Vitamins: Vitamin D Deficiency).

Wow... How great to hear of others with the same condition. I am a 46 year old female and was born with rickets. I have had 9 operations on my knees. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid 2- 3 years ago and have been told today my cholestrol is too high, so now on tablets for that. I have been told the thyroid is quite common with a lack of vitamin D

Hello, I'm a 31 year old female that suffers from rickets. I have had 6 surgeries on both legs. I had to have my left knee replaced and right hip as well. Now I also have decay of teeth (had to have many repairs), psoriasis, and am in lots of pain in my whole body.

I am a twenty five year old female with rickets. I have had one knee surgery to straighten it, but I have never really had any bone pains until now! I am taking osteobioflex and calcium, but I am still in a lot of pain. The pain is just in my shoulder right now, but it is keeping me from sleeping and doing my job!

hi i also have a 16month old daughter with rickets. the dr said that her body is resistant to the vit d tablet, hence she needs to be given a 'special' kind of vit d tablet to treat her condition. i am just wondering if the vit d dosage will have any side effect on her? jus a 2nd opinion from those who have been experiencing this. tq for ur response.
