Hypervitaminosis D is one of the causes of severe hypercalcemia in children. Most cases of hypervitaminosis D during childhood are due to an excessive supplementation of vitamin D by physicians or parents.1,2 To prevent metabolic bone disease of prematurity (rickets of prematurity), formulas designed for premature infants ("premature formulas"), which contain more calcium and vitamin D than standard formulas, are given to premature infants in addition to human milk.1 In some cases, separate vitamin D products are also given to these infants, although requirements for vitamin D and calcium intake in the premature infant and the formerly premature infant have not been fully estimated.1

Prevalence Of Osteoporosis

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the prevalence of osteoporosis and hypovitaminosis D among patients at the Siriraj Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD) Clinic, and to compare initial vitamin D levels in patients with and without a history of fragility fractures. Methods: Medical records of patients who attended our MBD clinic between 2012 and 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient baseline demographic, clinical, bone mineral density (BMD), and laboratory data were collected and analyzed. Osteoporosis was diagnosed when patients had a BMD T-score <-2.5 or presented with fragility fractures. Results: There were 761 patients included in this study. Of these, 627 patients (82.4%) were diagnosed with osteoporosis and 508 patients (66.8%) had fragility fractures. Baseline serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels were available in 685 patients. Of these, 391 patients (57.1%) were diagnosed with hypovitaminosis D. When evaluated only in patients with fragility fractures, the average initial 25(OH)D level was 28.2±11.6 ng/mL, and the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D was 57.6%. Conclusion: A high prevalence of osteoporosis and hypovitaminosis D was found among patients at our clinic; two-thirds of patients had a history of fragility fractures, and no difference in initial 25(OH)D levels was seen between patients with and without fragility fractures.

Metaphyseal Fractures

Fractures are commonly found in cases regarded as child abuse. The most commonly encountered fractures are to the ribs and the metaphyses. This paper examines the specificity of the classical metaphyseal lesion (CML) and rib fractures as hallmarks of child abuse. Recently, vitamin D deficiency (rickets) has been proposed as an alternative cause for the appearances typically described in CML. The literature in this area is examined. Rib fractures have also been highly associated with child abuse, particularly posterior rib fractures. As well as metabolic bone disease, resuscitation has been examined as a cause of rib fractures in young children. The current literature remains strongly supportive of rib fractures and metaphyseal fractures being indicators of child abuse.

Capd Patient

It seems that CAPD may improve some patients with osteomalacia but may be similar to hemodialysis in regard to osteitis fibrosa. However, long-term prospective evaluation of the incidence of bone disease in CAPD patients is necessary before we can determine how CAPD may alter the incidence and expression of renal osteodystrophy. We need more information before we can conclude that CAPD may improve pure osteomalacia. Finally, the data available are insufficient to clarify the role of vitamin D analogues in these patients.
