Тодорхойлолт

Rickets is a disease of growing bone that is due to unmineralized matrix at the growth plates and occurs in children only before fusion of the epiphyses. There are many causes of rickets, including vitamin D disorders, calcium deficiency, phosphorous deficiency, and distal renal tubular acidosis. With the increased survival rate of very low birthweight infants, rickets in this age group has become a significant problem.
