| ==Overview==
| |
| Rickets is a bony disease due to decreased [[mineralization]] of [[growth plate]], associated with abnormal serum calcium and phosphate level<ref name="pmid23208530">{{cite journal| author=Shore RM, Chesney RW| title=Rickets: Part I. | journal=Pediatr Radiol | year= 2013 | volume= 43 | issue= 2 | pages= 140-51 | pmid=23208530 | doi=10.1007/s00247-012-2532-x | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=23208530 }} </ref>. This leads to softening of bones.Rickets is more common in children especially in developing countries due to malnutrition and famines. It can also occur in adults and similar presentation in adults is termed as [[osteomalacia]].
| |
| The origin of the word "rickets" is unknown. The Greek derived word "rachitis" (meaning "inflammation of the spine") was later adopted as the scientific term for rickets, due chiefly to the words' similarity in sound.
| |
| | |
| ==Historical Perspective==
| |
| | |
| ==Classification==
| |
| There are 3 types of rickets
| |
| # Nutritional Rickets (due to deficiency of Vit D, calcium, and phosphorous)
| |
| # Vitamin D dependent rickets (due to defective metabolism of vitamin D)
| |
| # Vitamin D resistant rickets (hypophosphatemic rickets due renal phosphate wasting)
| |
| | |
| ==Pathophysiology==
| |
| | |
| === Physiology ===
| |
| Rickets is decreased [[mineralization]] of the [[growth plate]] and is associated with abnormal serum calcium and phosphate level. Viatmin D, [[Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)]] and [[Parathyroiad hormone (PTH)]] play role in calcium and phosphate homeostasis. Low phosphate level is common pathway in growth plate abnormalities both in calciopenic and phophopenic forms of ricket <ref name="pmid15976027">{{cite journal| author=Sabbagh Y, Carpenter TO, Demay MB| title=Hypophosphatemia leads to rickets by impairing caspase-mediated apoptosis of hypertrophic chondrocytes. | journal=Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A | year= 2005 | volume= 102 | issue= 27 | pages= 9637-42 | pmid=15976027 | doi=10.1073/pnas.0502249102 | pmc=1172249 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=15976027 }} </ref>.

| '''Vitamin D'''
| |
| Vitamin D in its prohormone forms [[ergocalciferol (vit D2)]] from yeasts and fungi and [[cholecalciferol (vit D3)]] as produced by UV irradiation in human skin from 7-dehydrocholestrol. Vitamin D undergoes [[hydyroxylation]] at 25 position in liver with help of [[25-hydroxylase]] enzyme and hydroxylation at 1 position with help of [[1-''a''-hydroxlase]](encoded by CYP271B)in kidneys. This 25 and 1 hydroxylation activates vitamin D and activated form of vitamin D is 1,25(OH)2D. This 1,25(OH)2D acts on intestine and increases calcium and phosphate absorption and also acts on bone to increase bone [[resorption]]. Metabolic inactivation of 1,25(OH)2D and 25(OH)D occurs in kidneys and intestine by hydroxylation at 24 position with help of enzyme 24-hydroxylase (encoded by CYP24A1) <ref name="pmid24529992">{{cite journal| author=Bikle DD| title=Vitamin D metabolism, mechanism of action, and clinical applications. | journal=Chem Biol | year= 2014 | volume= 21 | issue= 3 | pages= 319-29 | pmid=24529992 | doi=10.1016/j.chembiol.2013.12.016 | pmc=3968073 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=24529992 }} </ref>. If there is nutritional deficiency of vitamin D or resistance to action of vitamin D (Vitamin D dependent rickets type 1,2), leads to low serum calcium and phosphate level. This causes increased production of PTH from parathyroid glands. PTH acts on kidneys to increase 1-a-Hydroxylase and calcium absorption and decrease renal phosphate reabsorption leading to hypophosphatemia. Hypophosphatemia is central to development of rickets.
| |
| | |
| '''Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23)'''
| |
| FGF23 is a phosphaturic hormone produced by [[osteocytes]]. FGF23 decreases the renal threshold of phosphate reabsorption by decreasing the sodium dependent phosphate transport protein 2A and 2C (NPT2A and NPT2C) on the apical surfaces of [[proximal renal tubular cells]]<ref name="pmid8113402">{{cite journal| author=Tenenhouse HS, Werner A, Biber J, Ma S, Martel J, Roy S | display-authors=etal| title=Renal Na(+)-phosphate cotransport in murine X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets.

So when the level of FGF23 is high, circulating phosphate level will be low in serum. In addition, FGF23 decreases the level of 1,25(OH)2D in blood by increasing the expression of CYP24A1 (inducer of 24-hydroxlase) and down regulating the expression of CYP27B1 (inducer of 1-a-hydroxlase enzyme). The relative deficiency of 1,25(OH)2D decreases serum phosphate level, as normally 1,25(OH)2D increases intestinal phosphate absorption through sodium dependent phosphate transport protein 2B (NPT2B) <ref name="pmid19729436">{{cite journal| author=Sabbagh Y, O'Brien SP, Song W, Boulanger JH, Stockmann A, Arbeeny C | display-authors=etal| title=Intestinal npt2b plays a major role in phosphate absorption and homeostasis. | journal=J Am Soc Nephrol | year= 2009 | volume= 20 | issue= 11 | pages= 2348-58 | pmid=19729436 | doi=10.1681/ASN.2009050559 | pmc=2799172 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=19729436 }} </ref>.

| === Pathogenesis ===
| |
| [[Growth plate]] (physis) is present between [[epiphysis]] and [[metaphysis]]. There is maturation of [[chondrcytes]] (cartilage cells) progressively occurs from epiphysis to metaphysis. Thickness of growth plate is depending on two opposing factors, proliferation and [[hypertrophy]] of chondrocytes, on one hand, and vascular invasion of growth plate followed by mineralization of physis followed by conversion into [[primary bone spongiosa]], on other hand <ref name="pmid1985332">{{cite journal| author=Pitt MJ| title=Rickets and osteomalacia are still around. | journal=Radiol Clin North Am | year= 1991 | volume= 29 | issue= 1 | pages= 97-118 | pmid=1985332 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=1985332 }} </ref>.

Apoptosis of hypertrophic chondrocytes is induced by extracellualar phosphate via phosphorylation of mitogen-activated-protein-kinase (MAPK) pathway intermediates and downstream inhibition of caspase-9-dependent mitochondrial apoptotic pathway <ref name="pmid15976027">{{cite journal| author=Sabbagh Y, Carpenter TO, Demay MB| title=Hypophosphatemia leads to rickets by impairing caspase-mediated apoptosis of hypertrophic chondrocytes. | journal=Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A | year= 2005 | volume= 102 | issue= 27 | pages= 9637-42 | pmid=15976027 | doi=10.1073/pnas.0502249102 | pmc=1172249 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=15976027 }} </ref>.

| ==Gross Pathology==
| |
| There is change in structure of bone with increase in diameters of physis and metaphysis. Bone strength is compromised which is compensated by increase in bone size but overall bone is weak and bowing of bones occurs.

| ==Microscopic Pathology==
