CLASSIFICATION OF Rickets Nutritional Rickets: Caused by a lack of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate in the diet.
Genetic Rickets:
X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets: Caused by mutations in the PHEX gene, leading to phosphate wasting.
Autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets: Caused by mutations affecting phosphate transport.
Renal Rickets: Caused by kidney disease affecting the conversion of vitamin D or phosphate regulation.
EPIDEMIOLOGY Global Prevalence: Rickets is more common in developing countries due to nutritional deficiencies, but it can also be seen in developed nations with poor dietary habits or insufficient sunlight exposure.
At-risk Groups: Infants, toddlers, and children aged 6 months to 3 years are particularly vulnerable.
Higher incidence in areas with limited sunlight or in populations with poor diets, especially in urban areas with high pollution or colder climates.
DIFFERTIAL Diagnosis Osteomalacia : Adult form of rickets due to vitamin D deficiency. Hypophosphatasia : A genetic disorder leading to defective bone mineralization.
Growth Disorders: Conditions like pituitary dwarfism or Turner syndrome.
Bone Infection: Osteomyelitis can mimic bone pain and deformities.
