The muscle weakness that frequently accompanies osteomalacia and rickets may arise from a variety of causes, and identification of the metabolic disorder is important, since effective treatment is often possible.
Abstract
The muscle weakness that frequently accompanies osteomalacia and rickets may arise from a variety of causes. Particularly in patients with muscle weakness, identification of the metabolic disorder is important, since effective treatment is often possible.

Archives of Biochemistry and BiophysicsThe control of 25-hydroxyvitamin D metabolism by inorganic phosphorus
777 Citations1973Yôko Tanaka, Hector F. DeLuca
It is suggested that the renal tubular cell inorganic phosphorus level underlies the regulation of synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in the kidney and that the parathyroid hormone and calcitonin regulate 1, 25- dihydroxvitaminD3 synthesis via their effects on renal cell in organic phosphorus levels.

It was found that a syndrome of phosphorus depletion characterized by Hypophosphatemia, hypophosphaturia, increased gastrointestinal absorption of calcium, hypercalciuria, increased resorption of skeletal calcium and phosphorus, and debility can be produced by prolonged treatment with nonabsorbable antacids such as magnesium-aluminum hydroxides.

Findings provided further evidence that anticonvulsant osteomalacia results from hepatic enzyme induction which, by increasing the metabolism of cholecalciferol to inactive compounds, lowers 25-HCC levels in patients whose dietary vitamin D intake and exposure to sunlight are otherwise adequate.

Small amounts of 1,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol, the hormonally active metabolite of vitamin D 3, were given to eleven patients with chronic renal failure for 4-150 days and seems capable of correcting some, if not all, of the disturbances in calcium metabolism in this disorder.

172 Citations1952C. E. Dent
The name "tubular rickets" (or osteomalacia) is suggested for these cases of mainly tubule dysfunction in contrast to "glomerular rricket" which might be used to distinguish cases in which defect in the glomeruli overshadows and precedes that in the tubules.

The results have shown that the arousal effect of levodopa seen in hepatic coma cannot be attributed to defective brain dopamine synthesis, but whether it is due to the flushing away of false neurotransmitters accumulating in the brain in liver failure requires further study.
