Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is usually manifested as rickets in children. Since vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is common worldwide, global consensus has been formulated on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of nutritional rickets represented by vitamin D-deficient rickets. This consensus has defined vitamin D insufficiency as the status with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D(25OHD)level between 12 and 20 ng/mL and vitamin D deficiency as the status with serum 25OHD level below 12 ng/mL. Generally low dietary calcium(Ca)intake coexists with vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency in patients with rickets, and it is important to ensure sufficient Ca intake ensure in the management of nutritional rickets.
