Can rickets be cured

Answer 1

Rickets is caused by a lack of certain minerals in bones due to insufficient levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. Sufficient vitamin D in the diet is essential for the maintenance of normal calcium and phosphorus levels.

Answer 2

You will be told the right level of calcium or vitamin D to take, which will depend on age and the cause of the rickets. People who have trouble absorbing vitamins may need a higher dose.

Patients with genetic forms of rickets need slightly different treatment. For hypophosphatemic rickets, a combination of phosphate supplements and a special form of vitamin D is given. Children with other genetic forms of rickets need very large amounts of a special type of vitamin D treatment.

When rickets occurs as a complication of another medical condition, treating the underlying condition will often cure the rickets. For example, kidney disease patients with rickets may require dialysis.

If you have osteomalacia (soft bones), treatment with supplements will usually cure the condition, although it may be several months before bone pain and muscle weakness is relieved. Continue to take vitamin D regularly, otherwise the condition will come back.

Answer 3

Rickets is caused by a deficiency of vitamin D and most commonly occurs in malnourished children. The treatment for rickets is an increase in vitamin D in the diet or if the condition has progressed, surgery may be required.

No. Never. It is not an infection. It is a nutritional deficiency disease, caused by vitamin D deficiency. Not at all contagious.
