Osteomalacia Package - Book at an Affordable Price

Osteomalacia is a condition characterized by softening of the bones due to inadequate mineralization, usually caused by a deficiency in vitamin D or problems with the body's ability to absorb or utilize vitamin D.

Osteomalacia is typically caused by a deficiency in vitamin D, which plays a crucial role in regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the body for proper bone mineralization. Deficiency in vitamin D can result from inadequate sunlight exposure (which helps the body produce vitamin D), poor dietary intake of vitamin D, malabsorption of vitamin D in the gut (e.g., due to certain gastrointestinal disorders), or impaired activation of vitamin D in the kidneys.

The most common symptom of osteomalacia is bone pain, which can be widespread and affect multiple areas of the body. The pain may be dull, aching, or throbbing, and can worsen with weight-bearing activities. Other symptoms may include muscle weakness, bone tenderness, difficulty walking, and fractures or deformities in severe cases.
