2. Osteomalacia An explanation of this disease and its causes. http://courses.washington.edu/bonephys/opmal.html

Osteomalacia Osteomalacia means "soft bones". Osteoid is the bone protein matrix, composed primarily of type 1 collagen. When there is insufficient mineral or with some kinds of osteoblast dysfunction, the osteoid does not mineralize properly, and it accumulates. Many cases of osteomalacia are related to abnormalities in vitamin D When the newly formed bone of the growth plate does not mineralize, the growth plate becomes wide and irregular. This results in the clinical diagnosis of rickets, and is seen only in children because adults no longer have growth plates. When the remodeled bone does not mineralize, osteomalacia occurs, and this happens in all ages. Most of the hereditary causes of osteomalacia appear during childhood and cause rickets. The following table shows a list of causes of osteomalacia and some of the biochemical abnormalites that can be seen: More about oncogenic osteomalacia Osteomalacia may be suspected on a clinical basis, but the most reliable way to establish the diagnosis is with an UNDECALCIFIED bone biopsy. NORMAL: A photomicrograph of a biopsy from a normal postmenopausal woman showing an osteoid seam of normal width. Mineralized bone is green and osteoid is orange.

Osteomalacia And Rickets Signs and symptoms Pain in the bones of your arms, legs, spine, and pelvis, with actual tenderness of the bones. Progressive weakness. Click below for larger image Signs and symptoms in children In addition to the above symptoms, a child with rickets may have bowlegs and develop a pigeon breast and a protruding stomach. A slight fever and restless at night Click below for larger image Osteomalacia means softening of the bones. This softening occurs from a loss of the mineral calcium from the skeleton, the bones become flexible and gradually are molded by forces, such as bearing weight, that are exerted on them. Deformities can then result. When Osteomalacia occurs in children, it is termed rickets. One of the two most common causes of Osteomalacia is a problem of fat malabsorption called steatorrhea. In this condition, the body is unable to absorb fats, and they are passed directly out the body in the stool. The result of this problem is that Vitamin D, which is usually absorbed with fat, and calcium are poorly absorbed. This poor absorption can be a result of digestive disorders. The other common cause of Osteomalacia is an increased amount of acid in the body fluids because kidney functions is faulty. Called tubular acidosis, this problem occurs in persons with congenital or acquired kidney disorders. In simple terms, this increased acid gradually dissolves the skeleton.

Oncogenic osteomalacia Medical journals continue to publish case reports of this unusal disease, also known as tumor-induced osteomalacia. It is one of the most interesting paraneoplastic syndromes. Clinical features The tumors are usually benign, vascular, small mesencymal tumors such as hemangiomas, that are difficult to locate. They frequently are found in area of the sinuses, some are in bone or skin. A few cases of metastatic prostate carcinoma and small cell carcinoma have also been assoicated with low phosphate and osteomalacia. Myeloma with light chain nephropathy can cause hypophosphatemia but this is a form of Fanconi's syndrome and does not have the same pathophysiology. The tumors can occur at any age in both genders. It may take longer than a decade to locate them. Patients present with muscle weakness, bone pain, or fractures. Children will have rickets (bowing at the knees). Xrays disclose osteopenia, Looser's zones or wide epiphyseal plates. Bone scans may show multiple lesions, and increased activity at the ends of the ribs resembles the "rachetic rosary" seen with vitamin D deficiency. larger view) Lab values typically include very low phosphate and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, but normal 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. There is renal phosphate loss, but renal function is otherwise normal. Amino-aciduria, renal tubular acidosis, or glucosuria indicate Fanconi's syndrome, which may resemble oncogenic osteomalacia. Calcium may be normal or slightly low. Parathyroid hormone is increased in some cases. Alkaline phosphate is elevated. Other routine biochemical tests are unremarkable.

Conditions that may lead to osteomalacia include inadequate dietary intake of vitamin D, inadequate exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet radiation), which produces vitamin D in the body and malabsorption of vitamin D by the intestines. Other conditions that can cause osteomalacia include hereditary or acquired disorders of vitamin D metabolism kidney failure and acidosis ; phosphate depletion associated with low dietary intake of phosphates; kidney disease or cancer (rare), and side effects of medications used to treat seizures Risk factors are related to the causes. In the elderly, there is an increased risk amongst those who tend to remain indoors and who avoid milk because of

Contents: Osteopenia - Overview Book Reviews Medical Definitions of Osteopenia, Osteomalacia, Osteoporosis and Rickets Read my Overview When my doctor pointed out that I was at high risk for osteopenia because of my history of scoliosis and my thin build, I started reading everything I could about osteopenia and osteoporosis prevention and treatment. Out of the many books I looked at that are currently available on the subjects, the books reviewed below are the ones I found the most helpful. In the book Food and Our Bones the author focuses on osteoporosis, but she also also discusses bone health and bone density in general. The book Preventing and Reversing Osteoporosis is also intended for people with osteoporosis, but since it covers a variety of bone density treatment factors such as diet, exercise programs, magnesium, calcium, vitamin K, vitamin D and zinc, it should also be valuable reading for people with any bone-related health condition such as osteopenia (a precursor condition to osteoporosis), osteomalacia and rickets.
