Abstract

Rickets is a mineralization defect due to vitamin D defici- ency in growing bone. Although vitamin D supplementation has become widespread, nutritional rickets is still the most common reason of vitamin D deficiency. Avoiding sun exposure, inadequate vitamin D supplementation in preg- nancy and in early childhood result in nutritional rickets. The patient has applied to our hospital for the progressive bending of her legs after starting to walk. From his medical history, we learnt that, the patient did not receive vitamin D supplementation and adequate nutritional intake of cal- cium and phosphorus after the birth. The diagnosis of nut- ritional vitamin D deficiency was based on the combination of the history of poor vitamin D intake, clinical manifesta- tions and typical laboratory findings such as hypocalce- mia, hypophosphatemia, hyperparathyroidsm and low level of 25 hydroxyvitamin D. Our case is an example of serious nutritional rickets which despite vitamin D supplementati- on is widespread in our country

Nütrisyonel Rahitis ve D Vitamininin Önemi: Vaka Sunumu

Abstract

Rahitis, büyümekte olan kemikte, D vitamini eksikliğine bağlı kemiğin mineralizasyon eksiliğidir. Nütrisyonel D vitamini eksikliği, vitamin D proflaksisinin yaygınlaştırıl- masına rağmen, halen rahitisin en önde gelen nedenidir. Güneş ışığından kaçınma, gebelik döneminde yetersiz vita- min takviyesi alınması, D vitamini proflaksinin yetersiz yapılması veya hiç yapılmaması, besinlerle vitamin D alı- mının azlığı, erken sütçocukluğu döneminde besinsel rahi- tise neden olmaktadır. Yürümeye başladıktan sonra bacak- larda eğilme başlaması yakınması ile kliniğimize başvuran hastamızın öyküsünde doğumdan itibaren vitamin D takvi- yesi yapılmadığı belirtildi ve besinlerle kalsiyum ve fosfor alımının yetersiz olduğu anlaşıldı. Rahitisin klinik bulgula- rının yanında, kalsiyum ve fosfor değerlerinin düşük, parathormon seviyesinin yüksek olması ve 25 hidroksivita- min D düzeyinin çok düşük olması ile nutrisyonel rahitis tanısını doğrulandı. Vakamız proflaktik D vitamini takviye- sinin yaygınlaşmasına rağmen, takipsiz hastalarda ciddi nutrisyonel rahitis saptanabileceğine örnek olması açısın- dan sunulmuştur
