Prognosis Bone Changes
RICKETS
By: Ashley jones
What are rickets?
Rickets are a disease that causes bones to misform.
What are the types of rickets?
The types of rickets are Hypophosphatemic Rickets, Kidney or Renal Rickets, and Nutritional Rickets also known as Osteomalacia.
What are the causes of rickets?
Rickets are caused by a deficiency of Vitamin D, Calcium, or phosphate. Hypophosphametic Rickets are caused by low levels of phosphate. Renal (kidney) Rickets are caused by Kidney disorders that give low calcium and phosphates into the kidneys. Nutritional Rickets are caused by Vitamin D deficiency.
What are the signs and symptoms of rickets?
Bone pain or tenderness, skeletal deformities, bowlegs, rib-cage abnormalities, short stature, decreased muscle strength, impaired growth, dental deformities, and delayed formation of teeth.
How is the skeletal system disrupted?
The skeletal is disrupted because rickets cause soft bones that are curve shaped.
How are rickets diagnosed?
Rickets are diagnosed through complete and medical and nutritional history with a complete physical exam.
What is the treatment for Rickets?
There technically is no treatment because when a bone is formed abnormal it usually stays that way. The only way is to break the bones and let them heal themselves.
What is the prognosis? There is no prognosis bone changes are permanent.
Who gets rickets? How often do they occur?
Rickets usually occur in infants.
Is there a cure
The only way is to break the bones and let them heal themselves.
