Rickets-like diseases (RPDs) are
heterogeneous group of hereditary
diseases associated with disorders
phosphorus-calcium metabolism and
accompanied by skeletal deformities.
RPZ is a group of hereditary tubulopathies,
the clinical picture of which in the early stages
disease imitates rickets, but is not associated with
deficiency of what enters the body
vitamin D; their leading syndrome is
skeletal abnormalities (renal osteopathies).

Pathogenesis

Pathogenetic mechanisms of formation of primary
(hereditary) tubulopathies are associated with the following
factors:
genetically determined structural disorders
membrane carrier proteins;
enzymopathies hereditarily determined
deficiency of enzymes that provide active
membrane transport;
changes in the sensitivity of cell receptors
tubular epithelium to the action of hormones;
changes in the general structure of cell cytomembranes during
dysplasias, in the origin of which there is a certain role
belongs to hereditary factors.

Classification

RPPs include:
Vitamin D-resistant rickets
vitamin D-dependent rickets
De Toni-Debrau–Fanconi disease
renal tubular acidosis

Main signs of RPD

1. Pronounced progressive
skeletal deformities
2. Resistance to therapeutic doses
vitamin D
3. Violation of the child’s physical condition

Differential diagnosis of radiological signs of RPD

The X-ray research method is one of
leading methods for diagnosing RP.
To assess bone changes in RPZ,
the following x-rays:
– bones of the hands with grip of the forearms in a straight line
projections;
– bones of the legs with capture of the joints in a direct projection with
"socks in" style.

Vitamin D-resistant rickets

Varus deformities of the leg bones and
systemic osteoporosis.
enchondral changes (loosening
zones of preliminary calcification)
moderately expressed

corresponds to the passport.

Renal tubular acidosis

valgus deformities of tubular bones;
severe osteoporosis with thinning
cortical layer;
significant disruption of the enchondral
ossification;
significant lag in bone age from
passport;
the course of the disease is more severe;
nephrocalcinosis.

De Toni-Debreu–Fanconi disease

severe skeletal deformities with predominance
mixed, discordant, valgus disorders
with a sharp lag in physical development,
shortening of tubular bones;
severe systemic osteoporosis with thinning
cortical layer, with loss of bone architecture and
bone structures;
a sharp change in enchondral ossification with
lack of a preliminary zone
calcification;
significant delay in bone age.

Vitamin D-dependent rickets

bone deformities are of the varus type
systemic osteoporosis is observed
enchondral not clearly expressed
changes
bone age in most cases
corresponds to the passport

Reasons contributing to the development of rickets: malnutrition malnutrition hypokinesia hypokinesia prematurity prematurity insufficiency of natural insolation insufficiency of natural insolation climatic conditions climatic conditions environmental features of the region environmental features of the region






Not only the lack of nutrients plays a role in the development of the disease, but also their excess. For example, an excess of P in food (feeding with cow's milk, flour, and cereal products) inhibits the absorption of Ca in the small intestine and the synthesis of the active form of vitamin D in the kidneys. Not only the lack of nutrients plays a role in the development of the disease, but also their excess. For example, an excess of P in food (feeding with cow's milk, flour, and cereal products) inhibits the absorption of Ca in the small intestine and the synthesis of the active form of vitamin D in the kidneys.


Excess Fe in food, stearic and palmitic acids reduce the absorption of calcium in the intestine. The deposition of Ca and P in the fetus occurs most intensively from the 32nd week of pregnancy. The shorter the child's gestational age at birth, the more susceptible he is to rickets. Acute and chronic diseases influence the development of rickets.




Vitamin D absorption occurs in the small intestine with a sufficient amount of bile. Intestinal diseases (malabsorption, etc.) and impaired bile secretion impair absorption, contributing to the development of the disease. Vitamin D enters the bloodstream into the liver, where, under the action of the liver enzyme 25 hydroxylase, the first active metabolite is formed - 25 hydroxy cholecalciferol (calcidiol).


Calcidiol has no effect on bone metabolism. Liver diseases lead to disruption of its formation. Calcidiol is then transported to the kidneys using vitamin D binding protein, where active metabolites are formed in the renal tubules with the participation of renal enzymes.


The 1st metabolite - 24.25 dihydroxy cholecalciferol - ensures the fixation of Ca and P in bone tissue (skeletal mineralization) and suppresses the secretion of PTH. 2nd metabolite - calcitriol - hormonally active substance - affects phosphorus-calcium metabolism - acts on target organs (intestines, kidneys, bones)


Violations of vitamin D metabolism can occur at any level. Insufficient intake of vitamin D from food and insufficient formation of it in the skin contribute to the development of “classic” vitamin D deficiency rickets. Violations of vitamin D metabolism (pathology of the kidneys, intestines, liver, genetic defects) lead to secondary, endogenous rickets and its hereditary variants.


The pathogenesis of rickets is considered from the characteristics of those processes in which vitamin D is involved. Vitamin D regulates phosphorus-calcium metabolism. How? 1. Stimulates the absorption of Ca and P in the intestine 2. Being an antagonist of parathyroid hormones that regulate the reabsorption of P in the renal tubules, regulates the level of P in the body


3. Has a direct effect on the mineral metabolism of bone tissue (deposition and resorption) 4. In conjunction with parathyroid hormone and thyrocalcitonin, plays a role in the homeostasis of Ca and P in body fluids and tissues 5. Participates in the Krebs cycle, i.e. into the transformation of pyruvic acid into oxaloacetic acid, and then into citric acid 6. Promotes the elimination of inorganic P from inorganic compounds.


Parathyroid hormone, by reducing the reabsorption of Ca in the renal tubules, promotes its excretion from the body, causing hypophosphatemia and hyperphosphaturia. Alkaline phosphatase increases, which leads to an increase in the activity of osteoblasts and the circle closes (the norm according to Kay is 0.17 - 0.35 units. Alkaline phosphatase can remain within the normal range if there is a deficiency of protein or zinc in the diet. Decreased absorption of Ca: excess filates excess filates high level of stearic acid and palmitic acids high levels of stearic and palmitic acids Phosphorus absorption decreases with excess iron in the diet.

Prevention of rickets in children in the first two years of life is mandatory. 1. Antenatal prevention - daily stay of the pregnant woman in the fresh air, a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition with an optimal content of vitamin D and Ca, other macro and microelements, vitamins, proteins.


2. Specific antenatal prophylaxis All pregnant women are prescribed vitamin D at a dose of 400 IU per day for 8 weeks (28–32 weeks of pregnancy) during the winter-spring period. For women at risk: preeclampsia, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, rheumatism, etc., vitamin D is prescribed in a dose of 400 IU for 8 weeks from 28 to 32 pregnancies, regardless of the time of year.




4. Specific prevention - for full-term babies, breastfed from 3-4 weeks. age in the autumn – winter – spring periods, with the exception of the summer period. If the child was born at the end of spring, then prevention begins in the fall. The preventive dose is 500 IU daily.


Full-term children at risk (chronic extragenital pathology of the mother, twins, convulsive syndrome, congenital pathology of the hepatobiliary system, malabsorption syndrome, prolonged immobilization) are prescribed 1000 IU daily, excluding the summer months.


Premature babies with the 1st stage of prematurity are prescribed a prophylactic dose of vitamin D from the day of life in a dose of IU, premature babies of the 2-3rd stage - from the day of life in a dose of IU


Contraindications to the administration of a prophylactic dose of vitamin D are: Hypophosphatasia Hypophosphatasia Idiopathic calciuria (Williams-Bournet disease) Idiopathic calciuria (Williams-Bournet disease) Microcephaly Microcephaly Craniostenosis Craniostenosis

After achieving a therapeutic effect, they switch to a prophylactic dose of vitamin D; the child receives this dose daily during the first 2 years of life and in the winter in the third year of life.






Rickets is a polyetiological disease of early age, which is a consequence of metabolic disorders, mainly phosphorus-calcium, and is accompanied by damage to many organs and systems and the development of skeletal deformation. The disease has been known since ancient times. The first medical description of this pathology was given by the English anatomist and orthopedist F. Glisson in 1656. The name of the disease comes from the Greek word “rachis”, which means “spine” (spine), the curvature of which is one of the symptoms of the disease. Rickets is one of the most common diseases in young children. According to various researchers, rickets occurs in 20-60% of children. Reliable data are unknown, since mild forms of the disease and initial manifestations are often missed.


Etiology The causes of rickets are divided into endogenous and exogenous. Endogenous: 1. Insufficient supply of vitamin D, phosphates, calcium, magnesium, zinc and other microelements, vitamins, amino acids. 2. Insufficient exposure of the child to fresh air and insufficient insolation, which leads to disruption of the formation of vitamin D from 7-dehydrocholesterol in the epidermis under the influence of ultraviolet rays. Exogenous factors: 1. Disruption of the absorption of vitamin D in the intestines. 2. Disruption of the processes of hydroxylation of inactive forms of vitamin D into active forms (D) in the liver and kidneys. 3. Impaired absorption of phosphorus and calcium in the intestine, their increased excretion in the urine, impaired utilization of bone tissue. 4. Impaired functional activity of vitamin D receptors.


Factors contributing to the development of rickets in children. 1. Artificial feeding 2. Prematurity of children (multivitaminosis, including hypovitaminosis D, increased need for vitamin D, immaturity of morphological and functional systems). 3. High rates of skeletal growth, rapid remodulation of bone tissue. 4. Poor child care.

Working classification of Lukyanova E.M. (1988) distinguish: 1) Classic vitamin D-deficient rickets. 2) Vitamin D-dependent rickets is associated with a genetic defect in the synthesis of 1,25(OH) D in the kidneys or with resistance of target organs to it. 3) Vitamin D-resistant rickets (tubulopathies, hypophosphatasia). 4) Secondary rickets in liver diseases, malabsorption syndrome, etc.
