Understanding Osteomalacia & Vitamin D Deficiency: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Advanced Care
Osteomalacia is a metabolic bone disease characterized by softening of the bones due to defective mineralization, most commonly caused by severe vitamin D deficiency. Unlike osteoporosis, which involves bone density loss, osteomalacia results in inadequate calcium incorporation into the bone matrix, leading to weak, soft bones that are prone to fractures and deformities. Early diagnosis and targeted treatment are crucial to managing symptoms, preventing fractures, and improving quality of life. At IRIS Centre for Rheumatology, we offer world-class, patient-centric care for osteomalacia and vitamin D deficiency using the latest advances in rheumatology and metabolic bone medicine.
