Patient's question:
My relative's neighbor's child has a cold facial expression, rarely shows emotions, responds slowly, and reacts to external stimuli. As the disease progresses and the child ages, abnormal chest bone deformities may reappear, with the middle part protruding outward or inward. What detailed examinations are needed for rickets?Doctor's answer:
Rickets Examination: Serum alkaline phosphatase is currently the most commonly used indicator for the examination and diagnosis of rickets, which has significant interference on children's psychology, etc. It possesses the advantages of high sensitivity, specificity, simplicity, and speed, and has already replaced the traditional "three-item rickets examination for children's psychology, etc." (blood calcium, blood phosphorus, and blood alkaline phosphatase), becoming the main configuration for early diagnosis of rickets in children. Examination Method: Very simple, prick a finger for a urine test, and results are usually available within half an hour.
