For osteomalacia and rickets — except when caused by malabsorption — treatment consists of oral doses of vitamin D or sources such as fish, liver, and processed milk. Exposure to sunlight is encouraged. For rickets refractory to vitamin D or in rickets accompanied by hepatic or renal disease, treatment includes 25-hydroxycholecalciferol, 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, or a synthetic analogue of active vitamin D. Replacement of deficient calcium and phosphorus also helps to eliminate most symptoms of rickets.
