Abstract
- Rickets is a syndrome, characterised pathophysiologically by a failure of normal mineralization of bone and epiphyseal cartilage and clinically by skeletal deformity in growing children. The four principal causes of rickets are; vitamin D deficency, renal tubular insufficiency, chronic renal insufficiency, and hypophosphatasia. Of these, vitamin D resistant rickets may result from primary defect in function of the renal tubular reabsorption for phosphorus, later accompsnied with secondary hyperparathyroidism. We experiened a rare case of hypophosphstemic vitamin D resistant rickets accompanied with secondary hyperparathyroidism in adolescence.
