Abstract

X-Linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets (RHLX) is the most common form of genetic Rickets, with an increase in the circulating rate of FGF23 and consequent phosphaturia and Hypophosphatemia. The consequences of chronic Hypophosphatemia have already been well established regarding bone damage. Using a convenience sample from the HCFMRP-USP Osteometabolism Outpatient Clinic, we will evaluate the impact of this deficiency on energy and muscle metabolism - not yet studied - and its interaction from an endocrinological point of view (bone, muscle and fat tissues).
