Vitamin D deficiency is relatively common among older persons and those with spinal cord injuries. We report a case of proximal renal tubular acidosis in a 44-year-old quadriplegic nursing home resident who had limited sunlight exposure. Laboratory studies showed a low level of serum bicarbonate, a
Celiac disease (CD), a malabsorption syndrome with a genetic base, is a consequence of hypersensitivity to GLUTEN-containing foods. CD can manifest with classic symptoms; however, some unusual features like osteomalacia that has become more and more rare, may be the presenting symptom. We describe
BACKGROUND
Celiac disease is an autoimmune inflammatory disease of the small intestine precipitated by the ingestion of gluten, a component of wheat protein, in genetically susceptible persons. Classically, the disease manifests with diarrhea, weight loss and anemia. There are very few reports of
Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic digestive disease that results in hypersensitivity to the gliadin fraction of Gluten. Malabsorption syndrome may be responsible for weight loss, diarrhea, osteomalacia, and vitamins deficiency. Herein we report a patient with coeliac disease (CD) who presented with
Studied were a total of 60 normal and 91 diarrhea-affected calves of the Black-and-White breed, divided into groups of 1 to 6 days and of 7 to 14 days of age. The diseased animals were the offsprings of cows which had had acidosis, ketosis, and osteomalacia during pregnancy. Sodium and potassium
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) may affect the gastrointestinal tract and cause very rarely malabsorption syndrome related to bacterial overgrowth. Malabsorption syndrome may be responsible for weight loss, diarrhea, osteomalacia, and iron and vitamins deficiency. We report the case of a SSc patient who
Both FGF-23 and PTH inhibit renal phosphate reabsorption. We treated two patients with TIO and FGF-23-mediated hypophosphatemia with cinacalcet to test the hypothesis that medicinally induced hypoparathyroidism would decrease renal phosphate wasting. Cinacalcet treatment resulted in increased renal
A 67-year-old woman has a 20-year history of recurrent abdominal pain, diarrhea and diffuse bone pain. During the course of numerous hospitalisations the diagnoses "iron deficiency anemia", "iron absorption disorder", "osteoporosis" and "hyperparathyroidism" had been made. Despite treatment with
The omega loop gastric bypass (OLGB) has become a very commonly performed bariatric procedure because of the advantages it carries over the Roux en Y gastric bypass (RYGBP). However, mini gastric bypass is a misnomer, as this procedure is more malabsorptive than the RYGBP. Recently, it is called
This article presents two cases of osteomalacia related to vitamin D deficiency after radiation therapy. Both patients had typical signs of serious small bowel affection with malabsorption and diarrhea, and fractures, osteoporosis, histological osteomalacia and serological vitamin D deficiency. Both
Sixty two total gastrectomized patients were studied in serum biochemistry, bone microdensitometry, Calcium infusion test and clinical symptoms related to bone disorder. Thirty total gastrectomized Wistar rats were studied in food-intake amount, serum biochemistry, bone histological changes and
We report the case of a 50-year-old woman with anorexigen-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension treated with epoprostenol, who presented with Trousseau's sign, leading to the diagnosis of severe hypocalcemia for which substitution was started (initially orally, followed by intravenous
