STUDIES ON THE PATHOGENESIS OF HYPOPHOSPHATEMIC VITAMIN D REFRACTORY RICKETS OF THE SIMPLE TYPE OR PHOSPHATDIABETES

Abstract

The investigation into the pathogenesis of 8 cases with hypophosphatemic vitamin D refractory rickets of the simple type or Phosphatdiabetes shows that this disease is divided at least 2 types which are produced and developed respectively through the distinct pathogenesis, namely the pathogenesis of causing secondary parathyroid hyperfunction owing to the lowering of serum calcium through the deficient absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract and the pathogenesis of causing the defect in the renal tubular mechanism for the reabsorption of phosphate.
