Osteomalacia

Osteomalacia or osteomalacidosis is a disease in which mineralization in the bones is impaired, they become soft and brittle, which can lead to fractures. Osteomalacia is also called a rickets-like disease.

With osteomalacia, the amount of calcium in the bones decreases, and the process of their mineralization is also disrupted. This may be due to insufficient calcium intake in the body, as well as problems with the kidneys.

Osteomalacidosis can occur at any age, but is most common in children and adolescents. Symptoms of osteomalacia can appear as early as early childhood. The child may experience bone and joint pain and decreased muscle strength.

To diagnose osteomalacia, you need to do a blood test to check calcium and phosphorus levels and take an X-ray of the bones. Treatment for osteomalacia includes taking calcium and vitamin D supplements, as well as a proper diet high in calcium.

Prevention of osteomalacia involves eating a healthy diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, as well as regular exercise to strengthen bones.

Osteomolation is a disorder of calcium metabolism in the body, which leads to softening and weakening of bones. This pathology can be caused by various factors, such as insufficient calcium intake, lack of vitamin D, prolonged lying or sitting, etc.

Symptoms of osteomolation can manifest in various ways. The most common symptom is pain in the bones, especially when putting weight on them. Patients may also experience fatigue, weakness, and bone loss. In severe cases, osteomolation can lead to bone deformation and dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system, including bone fracture.

Osteomulation can be diagnosed using various methods such as x-rays, ultrasound, computed tomography and others. Treatment for osteomolation largely depends on the cause, but may include a high-calcium diet, calcium and vitamin D supplements, and physical activity. In addition, in some cases, surgery may be required.
