Vitamin D Deficiency Rickets: Finding the Right Dose for Treatment

Vitamin D deficiency rickets, a condition characterized by bone weakness and deformities, is a significant health concern, particularly in infants. This research explores the effectiveness of different vitamin D dosages in treating nutritional vitamin D deficiency rickets. The study aims to determine the optimal dosage that provides effective treatment with minimal side effects.

The study demonstrates that 150,000 IU or 300,000 IU of vitamin D are effective in treating nutritional vitamin D deficiency rickets, while higher doses (600,000 IU) carry an increased risk of hypercalcemia. This research provides valuable guidance for healthcare providers in choosing the appropriate vitamin D dosage for treating rickets.
