What are the types of rickets?

Rickets is a condition that affects the development of bones, resulting in weakened and deformed bones. There are several types of rickets, including nutritional rickets, which is caused by a deficiency in vitamin D, and hereditary rickets, which is caused by a genetic disorder. Other types of rickets include renal rickets, which occurs when the kidneys are unable to retain calcium and phosphate, and hypophosphatemic rickets, which occurs when there is an excessive loss of phosphate from the body. The treatment and management of rickets depend on the underlying cause and severity of the condition.
