Nutritional deficiency rickets found to have low calcium, low phosphate, high alkaline phosphatase, and increased parathyroid hormone (PTH). The disease is characterized by physeal widening and osteopenia on imaging, which may manifest on physical exam with widened wrists and ankles, spinal kyphosis, and genu varum. A rachitic rosary may also be present with thickening of the costochondral junction of the anterior ribs.
