Rickets-like diseases are a group of diseases that are manifested by skeletal changes similar to those observed in rickets. Rickets-like diseases include:
-
Phosphate diabetes is a disorder of the reabsorption of phosphates in the renal tubules, which leads to increased excretion of phosphates in the urine.
-
De Toni-Debreu-Fanconi syndrome is a hereditary disease caused by impaired reabsorption of phosphates and glucose in the renal tubules.
-
Renal tubular acidosis is a disorder of the excretory function of the kidneys, leading to increased blood acidity.
-
Fanconi nephronophthisis is a progressive disorder of renal tubular function of unknown origin.
Common features of rickets-like diseases are disturbances in phosphorus-calcium metabolism, which leads to skeletal deformities resembling rickets. Diagnosis of these diseases is based on identifying characteristic biochemical and radiological changes. Treatment depends on the specific disease and is aimed at normalizing metabolism.
Diseases of the rickets-like type are a group of diseases that are characterized by specific changes in the skeleton. These diseases manifest themselves with similar symptoms to the common disease rickets, but have their own characteristics.
The main characteristics of rickets diseases are that they are manifested by disturbances in the metabolic processes of bone tissue. As a result of these disorders, bone resorption occurs and the processes of its formation are disrupted. The result of these processes is the development of hypocalcemia, osteoporosis and hypophosphatemia. Also characteristic is increased mineralization of the jaws and the formation of hypertrophic growths on the bones of the skull and forearm.
Among the most common rickets type of diseases are Fanconi-Dente de Torcedor-Fanconi syndrome. It is manifested by growth and development delays, characteristic deformation of the skull bones. In education
