Other adult osteomalacia - what does this mean
Other adult osteomalacia is a condition caused by inadequate dietary vitamin d, calcium, or phosphate intake, or a combination of these factors. it can also be caused by malabsorption syndromes, kidney diseases, endocrine disorders, or certain medications. osteomalacia results in softening of the bones due to inadequate mineralization of the bone matrix.
What happens during the disease - other adult osteomalacia
Other adult osteomalacia is a type of osteomalacia caused by a deficiency of vitamins or minerals other than vitamin d, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, or vitamin k. it can also be caused by a decrease in the production of hormones that are responsible for the absorption of these vitamins and minerals, or by an increase in their excretion. this can lead to a decrease in the amount of these vitamins and minerals available to the body, which can lead to weakened bones, joint pain, and muscle weakness.
