The patient was examined at the genetic service, where x-ray and laboratory studies were requested. Studies revealed 2.4mg/dL phosphate in serum normal values being 3.3 to 5.4 mg/dL as well as a 147.60 mg/dL increase of phosphorus in urine normal values being 16-20 mg/kg/day. The aforementioned findings corroborated a case of persistent hypophosphatemia, therefore the diagnosis of hypophosphatemic rickets was confirmed.
