A
normal
13
Q
Osteomalacia/rickets: calcium
A
decreased
vit D deficiency -> less uptake
14
Q
Osteomalacia/rickets: phosphate
A
decreased
because PTH increases trying to elevate the calcium
15
Q
Osteomalacia/rickets: ALP
A
increased
osteoblasts become more active in response to increased bone resorption by osteoclasts
