WHAT IS X-LINKED HYPOPHOSPHATAEMIA (XLH)
X-Linked Hypophosphataemia (XLH) is a genetic disease.
•
People with XLH have higher levels of a hormone called fibroblast
growth factor 23 (FGF23).
•
FGF23 lowers the amount of phosphate in the blood.
•
The low level of phosphate may:
-
lead to bones that may not harden properly and, in children and
adolescents, cannot grow
properly
-
result in pain and stiffness in bones and joints
WHAT IS TUMOUR-INDUCED OSTEOMALACIA (TIO)
