The disease is based on vitamin D and is divided into two types, the first type is the genetic rickets based on vitamin D, a physical disorder is retarded, and suffers from the deficiency of the enzyme 1-alpha hydroxylase or the enzyme 25-alpha hydroxylase, and when the tests are Calcium in the serum is low or normal. Phosphates are either low or normal while the alkaline phosphate enzyme is high. The thyroid hormone is high while vitamin D is low, so it can be treated with vitamin D with 1-alpha
The vitamin D-type rickets have an increased vitamin D receptor resistance to vitamin D, which is a recessive physical disorder. Calcium is low or normal. The alkaline phosphate enzyme is high. The thyroid glands are high. Vitamin D is high and can not be treated. By vitamin D we need calcium directly.
