Vitamin D functionsVitamin D functions

Regulates calcium and phosphorus levels in the body (calcium homeostasis)

Promotes absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestine

Increases bone mineralization Increases reabsorption of calcium and

phosphorus by renal tubules Maintains healthy bones and teeth

0 nM > 100 nM

Vitamin D and bone

RicketsSecondary

hyperparathyroidismImpaired intestinal calcium absorption

Reduced bone volume with normal mineralization

Osteopenia

USUALLY HYPOVITAMINOSIS D --inadequate intake --disorders of vitamin D metabolism --renal failure (decreased synth. Of 1, 25-(OH)2-vitD—the most active) Decreased Calcium or phosphorus intake

(e.g.—inappropriate feeding of renal diets)

Why?

Paget’s Disease

Disease of bone remodeling

Accelerated bone resorption and formation

Disorganised mosaic pattern bone with increased vascularity and fibrosis

Cause unknown

› paramyxovirus, canine distemper

› Genetics- susceptibility loci More common in caucasian

M:F ratio 3:2 10% in over 70’s

Paget’s Disease: clinical manifestations

Bone pain

Joint pain

Deformity

Spontaneous fractures

Pagets Disease: complications

Fractures

Deafness

Nerve entrapment

Spinal stenosis

Cardiac failure

Osteogenic sarcoma

Hypercalcaemia (only if immobilized)

Paget’s Disease: investigations

Raised serum alk phos

Urinary hydroxyproline, pyridinoline cross-links

Radiology

› cortical thickening

› osteolytic, osteosclerotic and mixed lesions

› osteoporosis circumscripta
