Rickets is widely prevalent in low income countries and on the rise in high income countries. However, there is a significant delay in diagnosis due to a lack of knowledge. Childhood Disorders of Rickets: A Comprehensive Review defines the pathophysiology of rickets and the various genetic and acquired conditions that present with rickets in childhood. This comprehensive review details the various forms of rickets, the histopathology, the recent advances leading to new therapeutic options in treating rickets, along with exploring the role of Vitamin D and calcium in nutritional rickets. Additionally, the authors explore future research in various areas of nutritional and non-nutritional forms of rickets. Written by global experts for clinicians and researchers treating and studying the various forms of rickets. Childhood Disorders of Rickets: A Comprehensive Review will also be of interest to those working in public health and policy makers working on the prevention of nutritional rickets worldwide.
