Raquitismo
Nombres alternativos:
Deficiencia de vitamina D; Osteomalacia en niños; Raquitismo renal
Prevención:
El raquitismo se puede evitar haciendo que el niño mantenga una ingesta adecuada de calcio, fósforo y vitamina D. Esto puede requerir la administración de suplementos dietarios en personas con trastornos gastrointestinales u otros trastornos, lo cual se le debe consultar al pediatra.
Las causas renales de la mala absorción de la vitamina D deben tratarse rápidamente y los niveles de calcio y fósforo deben ser controlados regularmente en personas con trastornos renales .
La asesorÃa genética puede ayudar a las personas con antecedentes familiares de trastornos hereditarios que puedan causar raquitismo.
