    Abstract Severe vitamin D deficiency (reduction in serum 25(OH)D concentration) in infants and children can cause features of the Fanconi syndrome, including phosphaturia, glycosuria, aminoaciduria, and renal tubular acidosis. This indicates that vitamin D and its metabolites influence proximal tubule function. Filtered 25(OH)D bound to vitamin D binding protein (DBP) is endocytosed by megalin-cubilin in the apical membrane. Intracellular 25(OH)D is metabolized to 1,25(OH)2D or calcitroic acid by 1-α-hydroxylase or 24-hydroxylase in tubule cell mitochondria. Bone-produced fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) bound to Klotho in tubule cells and intracellular phosphate concentrations are regulators of 1-α-hydroxylase activity and cause proximal tubule phosphaturia. Aminoaciduria occurs when amino acid transporter synthesis is deficient, and 1,25(OH)2D along with retinoic acid up-regulate transporter synthesis by a vitamin D response element in the promoter region of the transporter gene. This review discusses evidence gained from studies in animals or cell lines, as well as from human disorders, that provide insight into vitamin D-proximal tubule interactions.

    Abstract The seminal discovery that sunlight was important in the prevention of nutritional rickets was made in 1890 by Theobald A. Palm, a medical missionary who contrasted the prevalence of rickets in northern European urban areas with similar areas in Japan and other tropical countries. He surmised that exposure to sunlight prevented rickets. Over the next 40 years his observation led to an understanding of ultraviolet irradiation and its role in vitamin D synthesis. This opened a new era of appreciation for the curative powers of the sun and "the sunshine vitamin". While Palm's observations were in some ways obscure, they had a potent effect on the development of photobiology.

    Abstract Physicians, Dickens scholars, and historians have tried to diagnose the condition that affected Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol. Leading entities include tuberculosis (TB), rickets, malnutrition, cerebral palsy, spinal dysraphism, and renal tubular acidosis. This article posits that an examination of the environment of London of 1820 to 1843 (when the novella was written) can provide important clues as to his condition. The blackened skies from burning coal, the crowding of people in tenements, the limited diet of the underclass, and the filth of London resulted in a haven for infectious diseases and rickets in children. Sixty percent of children in London had rickets, and nearly 50% had signs of TB. Tiny Tim likely had a combination of both diseases. After Ebenezer Scrooge's transformation, Scrooge could have ensured an improved diet, sunshine exposure, and possibly cod liver oil for Tiny Tim, which could have led to a "cure." Dickens was familiar with both rickets and TB and wrote about cod liver oil as a possible cure for rickets and scrofula. Improved vitamin D status can result in enhanced macrophage synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, which increases the synthesis of the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin (LL-37). This component of the innate immune system has strong killing properties for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The combination of rickets and TB represent a crippling condition that could be reversed by improved vitamin D status.

    Abstract In the period between 1880 and 1930, the role of nutrition and nutritional deficiency as a cause of rickets was established based upon the results from 6 animal models of rickets. This greatly prevalent condition (60%-90% in some locales) in children of the industrialized world was an important clinical research topic. What had to be reconciled was that rickets was associated with infections, crowding, and living in northern latitudes, and cod liver oil was observed to prevent or cure the disease. Several brilliant insights opened up a new pathway to discovery using animal models of rickets. Studies in lion cubs, dogs, and rats showed the importance of cod liver oil and an antirachitic substance later termed vitamin D. They showed that fats in the diet were required, that vitamin D had a secosteroid structure and was different from vitamin A, and that ultraviolet irradiation could prevent or cure rickets. Several of these experiments had elements of serendipity in that certain dietary components and the presence or absence of sunshine or ultraviolet irradiation could critically change the course of rickets. Nonetheless, at the end of these studies, a nutritional deficiency of vitamin D resulting from a poor diet or lack of adequate sunshine was firmly established as a cause of rickets.

    Abstract Recent emphasis on the re-emergence of nutritional rickets has renewed interest in the etiology and therapy of this devastating disorder. At its peak in the 19th and 20th century, rickets was a major area of study for countless experts in childhood disorders and numerous theories abounded as to its cause. These included, among others, infections, confinement or intestinal disturbances, and were largely discarded after the discovery of the role of vitamin D and the importance of ultraviolet irradiation. Once a good explanation had been found for the cause of the disorder and the curative power of vitamin D proven, whether it was obtained from the diet or through exposure to sunlight, there was no apparent need to look any further into the etiology of rickets. But in fact there may have been other contributory factors, recognition of which might have lessened the severity of the disease or hastened recovery. One of these theories might be of particular interest to pediatric nephrologists because it relates to insoluble aluminum-based phosphate binders. Namely, alum used as an adulterant in bread in certain locations may have contributed to metabolic bone disease during the great epidemic of rickets.
