Background: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) are rare inheritable disorders caused by excessive renal phosphate wasting manifesting as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Osteoid accumulates due to the reduced mineralization rate. Based on previous histomorphometric bone biopsy studies it the impression that XLH is a low bone turnover disease. Very little is known about the level of bone markers in XLH and the effects of conventional medical treatment with oral phos...

Background: Hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) are rare, inheritable disorders caused by excessive renal phosphate wasting. Despite a generalized mineralization defect, patients with HR are reported with a lower risk of fracture.Objective and hypotheses: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bone -geometry, -microarchitecture and volumetric BMD (vBMD) on the estimated bone strength in adult patients with HR using high-resolution peripheral quant...
