[Morphological changes in the jejunal mucosa in vitamin D-resistant rickets]
Abstract
Sixteen children with vitamin-D deficiency underwent jejunoscopy with spot jejunal biopsy. Morphologic evaluation of the biopsy specimens provided evidence for glycocalyx destruction and malabsorption syndrome. Hyperactivity of hydrolytic enzymes may be concerned with the adjustment to a disturbance of the calcium/phosphorus metabolism.
