[Serum concentrations of vitamin D metabolites in idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis (author's transl)].
This report concerns a 13 year old girl with the clinical and radiological features of mild idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis. In this patient, no alteration was detected in serum calcium (total + ionized) and phosphorus concentration, serum alkaline phosphatase activity, nor in urinary calcium and phosphorus excretions. Plasma concentrations of cortisol were normal during daytime and sleep. Circulating immunoreactive parathyroid hormone was normal or low. The serum 25-(OH)D and 24,25-(OH)2D concentrations were below the normal range, and the 1,25-(OH)2D concentrations were above the normal range (720 pmol/l) at the beginning of the investigation. All vitamin D metabolites concentrations returned to normal values at the time of radiological recovery and after calcium and 25-(OH)D3 supplementation. A possible relationship between alterations of bone and of circulating vitamin D metabolites is discussed.
