25m. 4 months ago calcium, phosphorous and alk. phos. were normal. recently found mild scoliosis and low vitd at 30nm. how quick osteomalacia onset?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immediately: Osteomalacia is underway as soon as an adult becomes vitamin d or calcium deficient. It starts of mild, but gets worse, and often remains undiagnosed, causing a great deal of misery. It's very reversible when you comply with proper treatment. Please do something about this.
