Cesur et al (2003)<br />

Van, Turkey<br />

Patients (n=56) with<br />

nutritional VDDR<br />

Mean age 10.7 (6.1) m<br />

Age-matched controls (n=20).<br />

Mean age: 11.7 (8.0) m<br />

Based on history, clinical <strong>and</strong><br />

laboratory findings plus left wrist x-<br />

ray.<br />

Stage of rickets determined<br />

according to serum CA, P & ALP<br />

concentrations<br />

Stage 1: serum Ca low, P normal<br />

Stage 2: serum Ca normal due to<br />

compensatory hyperparathyroidism<br />

Stage 3: both Ca & P low.<br />

Participants r<strong>and</strong>omly assigned to<br />

vitamin D (single dose):<br />

Gp 1 (n=20): 3750 µg<br />

Gp 2 (n=20): 7500 µg<br />

Gp 3 (n=16): 15000 µg<br />

Patient group before treatment:<br />

25(OH)D<br />

Stage 1: 15.8 (6.4)<br />

Stage 2: 15.4 (4.8)<br />

Stage 3: 14.7 (3.9)<br />

Ca: 78.2 (13.5)<br />

Control group<br />

elevated ALP.<br />

Clinical features: widened wrists,<br />

frontal bossing, bowing of legs <strong>and</strong><br />

costochondral thickenng..<br />

Treated with 50-125 µg/d of D2<br />

drops for 3 months <strong>and</strong><br />

subsequently 10 µg/d for a variable<br />

period.<br />

Baseline:<br />
