Abstract
Patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets, which is clinically manifested by growth failure and bowing of the legs, are usually treated with phosphate and a vitamin D preparation. However, the efficacy of this treatment has been disputed, and nephrocalcinosis is a recognized complication of therapy.Keywords
