Answer 2

Question:

Q. Deficiency of Vitamin D causes which of the following disease?

(a) Rickets

(b) Anemia

(C) Goiter

(d) Scurvy

Answer:

Rickets (a)

Explanation:

Rickets is a condition  in which bones become weak in children, caused either by malnutrition or by genetic causes. Symptoms include bent legs, poor growth, bone pain, a large forehead, and trouble sleeping. Complications may include bone deformities, bone pseudo-fractures and fractures, muscle spasms, or abnormally curved spines.

Vitamin D deficiency is the most common cause of rickets, but hereditary genetic forms also exist. This can be caused by a diet that does not have enough vitamin D, dark skin, underexposure to the sun, exclusive breastfeeding without vitamin D supplementation, celiac disease, and certain genetic conditions. Other factors  include  calcium and phosphorus deficiencies.

The underlying mechanism involves insufficient mineralization of the growth plate. Diagnosis is generally based on blood tests and x-rays showing low calcium, low phosphorus, and  high alkaline phosphatase.
