Patient's question:
Child, you have always been thin and small, and your body posture doesn't feel right, with some thinning of the front ribs. You have also gone to the hospital for a thorough examination, and they said it is renal rickets. Hello, what is renal rickets?Doctor's answer:
Renal rickets is primarily caused by newly developed diseases leading to an increase in calcium levels in the body. In clinical diagnosis, it is based on congenital kidney diseases. As long as the disease is detected early through conventional treatment, the expectation of a cure is generally higher during treatment, but a complete cure is rare. The premise is that the disease must be the primary symptom, and it should be mild. Renal rickets is a common disease in infants. Vitamin D deficiency leads to calcium-phosphorus metabolic disorders, resulting in bone fibrous dysplasia. If there is no deficiency, the likelihood of developing rickets is very low. Rickets reduce children's resistance, making them more prone to complications such as pneumonia, nausea, and vomiting, which interfere with their growth and development. It is recommended to consume more calcium-rich foods regularly.
