Osteomalacia is characterized by a low serum calcium and phosphate with elevated serum alkaline phosphatase. Osteomalacia may be caused by deficiency of vitamin D or phosphate deficiency. Malabsorption syndromes, renal failure and liver disease can result in vitamin D deficiency. Looser’s zone are linear areas of low density surrounded by sclerotic borders, which are a feature of osteomalacia. In adults, treatment is with a daily dose of calciferol (20-25 micrograms).
