How is hypophosphatemic rickets treated in children?

Patient's question:

My baby is two and a half years old, but he was recently diagnosed with hypophosphatemic rickets by the doctor. I'm very worried. What should I do about my baby's hypophosphatemic rickets?

Doctor's answer:

The recurrence of infantile hypophosphatemic rickets must be carefully examined in a formal Grade A hospital to make more accurate assessments. The main cause of infantile hypophosphatemic rickets is intergenerational inheritance. In addition to intergenerational inheritance, other reasons such as tumors can also lead to hemolytic anemia. To alleviate infantile hypophosphatemic rickets, it is essential to identify the underlying cause and can be treated by taking vitamin D.
