Patients with dcumented Rickets, that is nt assciated with vitamin D deficiency (hypphsphatemic) BACKGROUND DEFINITIONS Vitamin D is a fat-sluble vitamin that acts as a sterid hrmne. The bdy makes vitamin D frm chlesterl thrugh the actin f the sun s UVB rays n the skin. Factrs such as skin clr, age, amunt and time f sun expsure, and gegraphic lcatin affect hw much vitamin D the bdy makes. The primary functin f vitamin D is t maintain nrmal bld cncentratins f calcium and phsphrus, in additin t supprting bne, cardivascular, pancreas, muscle, and brain health1. Nrmal bne mineralizatin depends n adequate calcium and phsphate and this is maintained by vitamin D. Lw vitamin D results in decreased calcium and phsphate, which leads t secndary hyperparathyridism causing inadequate mineralizatin and lss f skeletal mass. When grwth plates have clsed, this can lead t stemalacia; if the grwth plates have nt clsed, rickets may develp. RECOMMENDATION FOR SCREENING Nte: Screening fr vitamin D levels shuld be reserved fr patients with risk factrs fr deficiency. Universal screening f all patients is nt recmmended 2,3. Cnsider assessing vitamin D status in children with the fllwing risk factrs: Dark skin 1 Limited sun expsure, including frequent sunscreen use and cultural cnventin assciated with cvering bdy 3 Lw dietary intake, including vegan/macrbitic diets r allergy/intlerance 3 Chrnic use f medicatins (e.g. anticnvulsants, sterids [including inhaled]) 2 Page 2 f 11

Since the develpment f 1,25-dihydrxyvitamin D testing, prper utilizatin based n clinical need has been prblematic. Testing 25-hydrxyvitamin D is mst useful in nutritin assessment, primarily due t its lnger half-life. The circulating half-life f 1,25- dihydrxyvitamin D is relatively shrt, which limits utility fr verall vitamin D assessment. Testing can be useful in the diagnsis f renal dysfunctin in cnjunctin with parathyrid hrmne. 1,25-dihydrxyvitamin D is elevated in sarcidsis and primary hyperparathyridism, and decreased in renal failure and hyperparathyridism. Labratry Apprval Prcess Test requests fr 1,25 dihydrxyvitamin D will be flagged fr review by the lab and sent t the rdering prvider fr review. Labratry team respnsibility: Request fr 1,25 dihydrxyvitamin D will be intercepted by the team and the prvider frm letter will be sent t the rdering prvider. After the rdering prvider respnds with their decisin, the lab team will either: OR Send the specimen fr prcessing Cancel the request and redirect, if apprpriate, t 25(OH)D testing The lab team will dcument the case and decisin in their database Prvider respnsibility: In the event the rdering prvider des nt respnd within tw days, the request will be sent t the n-call prvider fr the grup. The n-call prvider can decide t apprve the testing r redirect testing if clinically indicated Evaluatin f Labratry Results Vitamin D status as measured by 25(OH)D Deficiency = Less than 10 ng/ml At risk fr rickets, pathlgic fractures, and nn-skeletal disease Insufficiency = 10 t 20 ng/ml At risk fr bne disease including stepenia/steprsis, musculskeletal pain, and nn-skeletal disease including peridntal disease At risk fr insufficiency = 20 t 30 ng/ml (interpretatin shuld take int accunt time f year, skin clr, and presence f besity r medical cnditin) At risk fr nn-skeletal disease (cardiac, nclgic) Page 3 f 11
4 Sufficiency = 30 t 96 ng/ml Txicity = Greater than 96 ng/ml Hypercalcemia Hypercalciuria Kidney stnes Hyperphsphatemia THERAPEUTICS Gastrintestinal distress, bne pain Recmmendatins fr supplementatin: These recmmendatins d nt differentiate between the use f chlecalciferl (D3) r ergcalciferl (D2), as there is insufficient data t shw any significant difference in absrptin, particularly at therapeutic levels 5. Fr patients wh require large weekly dses (i.e., 50,000 Internatinal Units [IUs]) ergcalciferl (D2) is preferred: hwever, it shuld be nted that patient insurance may require prescriptin and prir authrizatin (PAR). The American Academy f Pediatrics recmmends daily dsing; hwever, the dsing schedule (daily versus weekly) shuld be individualized t minimize financial issues and treatment burden, particularly in patients with chrnic illness 6. Other cnsideratins include the ptential fr vitamin D txicity if a weekly high-dse regimen is inadvertently cntinued r pssible lss f efficacy if the weekly dse is missed. The Children s Hspital Clrad Vitamin D Cmmittee recmmends that all individuals, wh are supplemented, take nce-daily vitamin D3 r its weekly equivalent t maintain serum 25(OH)D levels f at least 30 ng/ml. Table 1.

Vitamin D, multivitamin, Omega-3, etc) Page 4 f 11
5 Recmmendatins fr fllw up: Vitamin D levels shuld be rechecked after 6 t12 weeks when supplementatin is initiated, r with any dse change. Vitamin D can be evaluated sner if medically indicated. A dse respnse t therapy shuld be evident n labratry evaluatin within 4 t 6 weeks f supplementatin. Patients with chrnic illness (CF, renal disease, etc.) shuld have their vitamin D levels checked annually as part f rutine health maintenance, and regardless f supplementatin status. Cnsider Endcrinlgy referral if deficiency is resistant t treatment r patient has dcumented rickets that is nt assciated with vitamin D deficiency (hypphsphatemic rickets). Children s Hspital Clrad Endcrinlgy department is available fr phne cnsultatin at any time with questins r cncerns ( ). PREVENTION Infrmatin regarding apprpriate sun expsure, the use f vitamin D supplements, and eating a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D shuld be made available t each patient. Preventin and maintenance measures t avid deficiency thrugh vitamin D supplementatin are suggested as fllws: Breast feeding infants up t 12 mnths ld: 400 Internatinal Units/day Inadequate sun expsure r limited dietary intake: 1 t 18 years ld: 400 t 800 Internatinal Units/day Adults: 800 Internatinal Units/day Pregnant and lactating wmen: 6400 Internatinal Units/day, if baby is nt being supplemented t supprt 400 Internatinal Units recmmendatin in breast milk Obese patients: 1000 Internatinal Units/day Patients with at-risk medical cnditins (i.e. premature birth status, renal impairment, CF, malabsrptin, etc), may require higher maintenance dses and mre frequent fllw up. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What are the frms f vitamin D? Chlecalciferal (vitamin D3) A naturally ccurring frm f vitamin D made by the skin upn sun expsure (UVB rays) Fund in fds and mst supplements, including cd liver il and sheep lanlin Calcidil (25-hydrxyvitamin D) A prehrmne made directly frm chlecalciferl in the liver Lw bi-activity, but a majr circulating frm in the bld stream Used t measure vitamin D deficiency Calcitril (1,25 dihydrxyvitamin D3) An activated frm f vitamin D made frm calcidil in the kidneys and bdy tissue Mst ptent sterid hrmne in the bdy Page 5 f 11
6 Ergcalciferl (vitamin D2) Nt naturally ccurring in the bdy, made in the labratry and used in prescriptin vitamin D Is there a difference between the frms f Vitamin D in supplements? There are tw main frms f vitamin D in supplements: chlecalciferl and ergcalciferl There is n evidence f significant difference in absrptin between the different frms, especially at therapeutic levels What is the cntrversy regarding vitamin D sufficiency? The Institute f Medicine (IOM) and Endcrine Sciety recmmendatins disagree n the level f sufficiency in assessments f bne health fr determining deficiency threshlds. There ften isn t a specific level abve which ne is prtected, nr is there a level at which disease is inevitable. Treating t a 25(OH)D level greater than 30 ng/ml may nt prduce additinal benefits abve treating t a level f greater than 20 ng/ml; hwever, the health risks f ding s appear t be minimal but therapy may be expensive fr patients Are there drug interactins that make a patient mre at risk? Crticsterids Reduce calcium absrptin resulting in impaired vitamin D metablism Bile acid sequestrants (eg. chlestyramine) Orlistat May impair absrptin f vitamin D Shuld be taken several hurs apart May impair absrptin f vitamin D Shuld be taken at least 2 hurs apart Phenbarbital and phenytin: increase the hepatic metablism f vitamin D t inactive cmpunds and decrease calcium absrptin, which als impairs vitamin D metablism. Is there a specific time my patients shuld take their supplement? We advise taking vitamin D supplements with the largest meal f the day t imprve absrptin. Shuld I advise my patients t get mre sun? Mnitred sun expsure Clrad is abve the 31 degree latitude cut ff, increasing risk f vitamin D deficiency Unprtected sun expsure (UVB rays): Light skin tnes: 10 t 5 minutes daily n arms/legs prvides 2000 t 3000 Internatinal Units Darker skin: requires 5 t 6 times lnger Shuld I screen fr metablic r underlying malabsrptin if my patient is deficient? Mst patients d nt have any ther disease prcesses, and thus lead t unnecessary evaluatin. Cnsider additinal screening, nly fr patients with signs r symptms suggesting underlying disease prcesses (e.g. diarrhea, frequent upper respiratry infectins, r skin changes such as dry skin r hair lss). If my patient has vitamin D deficiency, shuld I screen fr steprsis? Additinal screening is nly indicated if clinical histry (bne pain, fractures, etc.) is suggestive f steprsis. Bne density testing is expensive and very lw yield. Page 6 f 11
7 When shuld I repeat labratry evaluatin after starting supplementatin? Labs shuld be repeated in 6 t 12 weeks. Des insurance typically cver supplementatin? Insurance usually des nt cver vitamin D supplementatin. Very high dses (i.e. 50,000 Internatinal Units per week) may be available thrugh prir authrizatin (PAR), but are nt typically recmmend except in cases f severe deficiency.

8 APPENDIX A. SAMPLE LABORATORY TEST LETTER Dear Prvider, Our lab received a request fr 1,25 dihydrxy vitamin D fr yur patient,. This request requires review befre it will be sent fr prcessing. Recent studies fund that mre than 50% f rders were placed in errr, where 25-hydrxy vitamin D was the intended test t assess nutritinal status. 25-hydrxy vitamin D is mst useful in nutritin assessment, primarily due t its lnger half-life. It is elevated with vitamin D intxicatin, and decreased with malabsrptin, nutritinal deficiency, and in liver disease. This test is perfrmed daily in Children's Hspital Clrad Labratry. The circulating half-life f 1,25 dihydrxy vitamin D is relatively shrt, which limits utility fr verall vitamin D assessment. Testing can be useful in the diagnsis f renal dysfunctin in cnjunctin with parathyrid hrmne. 1,25- dihydrxy is elevated in sarcidsis and primary hyperthyridism, and decreased in renal failure and hypparathyridism. There are tw ptins fr hw t prceed with this test: We can cancel the rder fr 1,25 dihydrxy vitamin D and yu can write an add-n cmmunicatin fr 25 hydrxyl vitamin D- we d nt need a new rder r specimen. Prceed with the test as yu have rdered it. Please let us knw if we can be helpful and hw yu want t prceed. We aplgize fr any incnvenience if this was the test yu intended. Sincerely, The Labratry Team and Vitamin D Cmmittee at Children's Hspital Clrad Page 8 f 11
