Adult osteomalacia due to malabsorption - what does this mean
Adult osteomalacia due to malabsorption is a condition in which the bones become soft due to a lack of calcium and vitamin d caused by malabsorption of these nutrients in the small intestine. this is usually caused by a medical condition such as celiac disease, crohn's disease, or other gastrointestinal disorders.
What happens during the disease - adult osteomalacia due to malabsorption
Adult osteomalacia due to malabsorption is caused by a decrease in the body's ability to absorb dietary vitamin d, which leads to a decrease in the serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin d. this decrease results in a decrease in the amount of calcium and phosphate available to the body, which leads to a decrease in the mineralization of the bone matrix, resulting in the condition of osteomalacia.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete medical history and physical examination
- Serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D
- Urine tests for calcium, phosphorus, and creatinine
- Radiological imaging of the skeleton to evaluate for fractures and deformities
- Bone biopsy to evaluate for the presence of osteomalacia
- Gastrointestinal evaluation to assess for malabsorption
- Endoscopy to evaluate for any structural abnormalities
- Stool tests for fat and protein absorption
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To restore the patient's calcium and vitamin D levels.
- Prescribe calcium and vitamin D supplements
- Monitor blood calcium levels
- Prescribe medications to improve calcium absorption
- Refer the patient to a dietician to create a balanced diet for optimal calcium and vitamin D absorption
- Encourage regular and adequate exposure to sunlight
- Encourage regular physical activity
- Prescribe medications to reduce bone pain and tenderness
- Refer the patient to a physical therapist for exercises to strengthen bones and muscles
23 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Adult osteomalacia due to malabsorption - Prevention
Adult osteomalacia due to malabsorption can be prevented by ensuring adequate intake of vitamin d and calcium through diet and supplements, as well as regular monitoring of vitamin d levels to ensure they are within the normal range.
