Case Report and Summary of Hypophosphatemic Rickets. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Aug 2008, Pages: 68
Hypophosphatemia due to chronically increased renal
phosphate clearance leads to variable bone diseases
such as rickets and osteomalacia. The most common
inherited form of hypophosphatemia is X-linked
hypophosphatemic rickets. Other inherited forms of
the disease are autosomal dominant and recessive
hypophosphatemic rickets.
This work should give a summary of the latest
findings in this hypophosphatemic disease and
discusses reasons which lead to the illness. A lot of
patients and also the two brothers who were discussed
in this case report have clear hypophosphatemic
symptoms but no genetic reasons were found. This
disease gives also new cognitions about phosphate
homeostasis, althoug a lot of questions still remain.
