The vitamin D deficiency disease in children characterized by bone softening and deformities.
A bone disorder signified by an interruption of development, often caused by deficiencies or malabsorption of Vitamin D, calcium, and/or phosphorus, as well as any metabolic and hormonal abnormalities.
A condition resulting from a vitamin D deficiency in childhood. Characterized by the softening of the bones and associated deformities.
A condition, seen most strikingly in young children, caused by Vitamin D deficiency. It is characterized by poor growth and lack of normal development of bones (typically, bow legs) as a result of disturbed calcium and phosphorus metabolism.
vitamin D deficiency that results in softening and weakening of bones in children.
A childhood disease in which a lack of vitamin D results in soft and weakened bones.
A disease occuring in infants and young children characterized by softening of the bones, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and general tenderness of the body when touched.
Caused by a vitamin D deficiency, rickets is a bone-deforming disease that causes bowed legs, knock-knees, or other deformities of the legs. Because the government has mandated that milk, cereal, and other foods be fortified with vitamin D, rickets is fairly rare in the United States.
Rickets are a condition in which the bone matrix does not calcify normally due to insufficient amounts of dietary calcium or vitamin D, which is needed for absorption of calcium by the intestines. In adults, it is called Osteomalacia.
Bone weakness and underdevelopment in children - small with 'bandy legs'; due to calcium deficiency following lack of vitamin D.
A weakening of the bones due to Vitamin D deficiency.
Generalized failure of endochondrial ossification with lack of mineralization of the epiphyseal cartilage matrix and poor vascular invasion. (See general info in Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics)....Vitamin D and/or Ca++ deficiency Rickets Elongation of growth plate band with poor differentiation of proliferating cells, increase unmineralized organic matrix (osteoid) and poor remodeling of CC. (See general info in Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics)....Phosphorus Deficiency and or Ca++ Excess Rickets Normal growth plate band and failure of remodeling of cartilage columns and relatively normal vascular invasion.
A childhood disorder in which there is softening of the bones due to deficiency of vitamin D and calcium in the diet. If untreated, deformity may result.
Poor bone development as a result of vitamin D deficiency. This can be due to poor nutrition or poor liver function.
condition affecting children deficient in vitamin D; characterized by soft and deformed bones, resulting from abnormal calcium metabolism
Nutritional disease caused by a shortage of vitamin D; interferes with the absorption of calcium and causes softening and deformation of the bones.
childhood disease caused by deficiency of vitamin D and sunlight associated with impaired metabolism of calcium and phosphorus
a condition affecting that development of bone either due to a deficiency of vitamin D or a genetic defect leads to the inability to utilize vitamin D. In both cases, the condition can be treated
A condition of infancy and childhood caused by a lack of Vitamin D and resulting in poor bone development.
disease-disturbance of normal ossification- bending and distortion of bones. Normally caused by vitamin D defficiency or possibly a dysfunction of the kidneys.
A disease that affects the young during the period of skeletal growth. Characterized by soft, deformed bones. Caused by an inability to use calcium and phosphorus normally due to inadequate vitamin D.
A disease characterized by soft, deformed bones, caused by a deficiency in vitamin D.
A disease caused by either 1) vitamin D deficiency or 2) renal disease leading to inadequate mineralization of bones the child. [See: Fluoride & Rickets
Dietary deficiency disorder of bones and joints due to inadequate vitamin D, calcium, and/or phosphorus.
A childhood disease in which bones lack calcium and are deformed as a result of vitamin D deficiency (vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium)
disease caused by deficiency in vitamin D causing a disturbance in normal ossification, especially in infancy and childhood; vitamin D dependent rickets is associated with a deficiency in 25-hydroxycholecalciferol 1-hydroxylase.
Disease of skeletal system.
disease mainly in children, which results in the softening of bones
Rickets is a disease usually caused by a vitamin D deficiency, which makes it difficult for the body to absorb calcium. It results in bowed or deformed legs.
Crippling bone deformities in children caused by a shortage of Vitamin D.
A deficiency disease resulting from a lack of vitamin D or calcium and from insufficient exposure to sunlight, characterized by defective bone growth. Also called Rachitis.
Bone disease caused by vitamin-D deficiency. Bones become bent and distorted during infancy or childhood if there is insufficient vitamin D for normal growth and development.
Often the result of vitamin D deficiency. Rickets affects children while their bones are still growing. It is characterized by soft and deformed bones, and is the result of a impaired incorporation of calcium and phosphate into the skeleton.
A condition caused by the dietary deficiency of vitamin D, calcium, and usually phosphorus, seen primarily in infancy and childhood, and characterized by abnormal bone formation.
a deficiency disease resulting from a lack of vitamin D or from insufficient exposure to sunlight, characterized by defective bone growth, and occurring chiefly in children
Bone disease caused by vitamin-D deficiency. Bones become bent and distorted during infancy or childhood due to insufficient vitamin-D during normal growth and development.
Vitamin-D deficiency characterized by abnormal calcification of bone tissues.
Rickets is a softening of the bones in children potentially leading to fractures and deformity. Rickets is among the most frequent childhood diseases in many developing countries. The predominant cause is a vitamin D deficiency, but lack of adequate calcium in the diet may also lead to rickets.
